If all are partitioned using NTFS then you can use NTFS permissions
to control what accounts can access which partitions, and in what way
if at all (but, leave the operating system's partition alone).
With Home, the most simple way to do this is to log in with a Safe
Mode boot, as the Security dialog is visible in Safe Mode when you
right-click into the Properties of NTFS objects.
Safe Mode requires a log in. If others are able to access Safe Mode
that mean you have not set a password on the Administrator account
(which you can do when in Safe Mode or in a regular boot).
