Thus the issue...... I was 99% sure a third-party solution was in order, but just wanted to throw it out here and see if I was missing something.

Each would have administrative rights on the PC, so folder protection is the only solution.

You could also use ABE to hide the folder from those who aren't on the ACL, which is available in Server 2003 and up. If people can't see it, then they won't try to access it, kind of negating the need for a password.
