Hi Jaguncc,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers.
Try this
i. Go to properties window of the local drive -> Security tab -> Remove the complete list from "Group or user names"
ii. Once done add your name (Admin) and give full control from the checkbox below.
iii. It will give access of that particular drive to the administrator only and the guest role will be restricted access from it.
You may also check if setting up parental controls in the guest account helps.
