Deny application access to hard drive or volume in Windows 7+

I want to deny some of the applications on my computer to access certain drives or logical volumes, but couldn't find a solution so far.


Background: My PC has an SSD as system drive and a 15TB Raid-6 w/ five harddrives. The controller is configured to spin down the drives after ~10-15 minutes. This is fine since sometimes I don't need to access anything on the Raid for a couple of hours or even longer. Some applications such as Adobe Reader access all logical volumes when starting for some reason I cannot comprehend. My assumption is that all volumes with a drive letter assigned are affected. Removing the letters and re-assigning them isn't an option at all ;)


How can I restrict Adobe Reader or other applications from accessing these volumes my Raid hosts?
