How to prevent a Windows account from opening and viewing the contents and partitions of a hard drive?

When you open "My Computer" or simply "Computer", there, in addition to disk drives and other devices, hard disk partitions are visible.
For example: "Local disk C", "Local disk D".
How to prevent the windows account from opening and viewing these drives?
That is, when, for example, a user double-clicks on drive D, he is denied access to open and view the contents of this drive.
OS: Windows 7.
UPD: it is desirable that in case of denied access to the disk (from a profile that is denied access to the disk), access to it can be obtained, but only if you enter the administrator password.

This can be done with policies (starting, it seems, with XP)
Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Explorer
Prevent access to drives from My Computer
and then play around what exactly is prohibited.

Hover the mouse over a drive or folder in Explorer - right-click, select the "security" tab, set the rights for the user or user group.
And what kind of rights you set up for you to decide - you can also prohibit reading.
