I would like to sign in as me and not have her songs come up when I say play
all music (in shuffle mode for instance)......... I know i can do this with
custom playlists but then you have extra steps to add them to the playlists
each time new music is purchased. thanks..............................Rob
 
By default, you shouldn't see her music if its in her My Documents\My Music folder. If that's where they are, then you may need to adjust the folder permissions so that you don't have access to her My Music (or other folders her music may be stored in).

XP PRO: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck Use Simple File Sharing. Now, when you right click on a drive, folder or file (on an NTFS partition) and select Properties, you'll see a Security tab. Here you can assign or deny permissions based on user name or user group membership.

XP Home: By default, you can only make files and folders under My Documents "private". This is done by right clicking a folder or file and selecting Properties, Sharing. To change the permissions on other folders, you need to boot the computer to Safe Mode and log in on the built in Administrator account. In this mode, you'll see the Security tab in Properties, and you can assign permissions based on user name or group membership.
