Thank you. Users can still "see" other users folders under C:\Users - permissions just prevent access to getting into the folders.
I have semi-solved the issue now by restricting access to C: Drive and setting up hub mode for file explorer. This still shows the user his profile folders and prevents access to C: drive completely. The issue is when you use an application that allows open location (i.e. in outlook data file) - the C:\ does open up and a user can get to C:\Users and see other users folders in there.
I believe all you can do is restrict visibility by, say hiding the C:\ drive from file explorer via registry or GPO (Amazon Workspaces does this be default for example). A user is going to have to be granted permission to the C:\ and C:\Users directory in order to do their work on any Windows PC. Third party file explorers, they will be able to view C:\.
Sounds like you just need to confirm the folder and sub-folder permissions on the C:\Users directory.
There is a GPO under User Config > Admin Templates > Windows Comp > Windows Expl > 'Prevent Access to Drives'.
Hopefully this is somewhat helpful, but I may be misunderstanding the need.
