making a limited user accounts be able to write to the root directoryof an hdd

I have two accounts on my computer - an admin account and a limited
user account. I also have two hard drives - C:\ and D:\. Right now,
the limited user account can write to most any directory in either,
save for, among others, C:\Program Files\ and the C:\ and D:\
directories, themselves. How might I go about granting write
permission to the D:\ to the limited user account? I don't want there
to be write permission for C:\Program Files\ or C:\.

You did not mention what OS you are using so I will assume XP since in Vista
c:\program files is off limits in a limited user account. In XP you will
need to set permissions on the folders to limit users in that group. Not a
difficult to do. If this is what you mean...
