okay, so ive been looking all through the microsoft
support website and am not getting any closer.

I have a guest account on my laptop but it has access to
my folders in my main (admin) account. I right click the
folder (have tried from both admin and guest accounts -
same problem) and the security tab and the option that
allows me to check the box so as to make the folder
private is UNCHECKABLE!
How do i fix that?
 
Hi Nina,

Open your Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and open Tools -> Folder
Options -> under View Tab scroll to the bottom and uncheck check box that
says "User simple file sharing..."

Now you will be able to protect your file system (e.g. right click the
folder that you would like to protect -> Properties -> Security Tab and add
your account full permission and remove e.g. Everyone Full control)...
