Read up on cacls.exe and employ it to assign appropriate permissions to the QB files.

A simpler but less secure solution is to install QB in the All Users folder instead of the default folder. Whilst this may allow everyone to access QB (I am assuming this because I don't use this method), it probably also allows everyone to erase your clients financial records.
