1) Dump him and get a friend that you can trust.

2) Don't allow him to use your computer.

3) If you must let him use your computer, ensure that he doesn't have
an account with administrative privileges, and that the built-in
Administrator account his secured against his use.

If he has physical access it's hard to stop him. Probably the easiest way is
to store your files on an external drive that you remove when you are not
using the computer. You could also encrypt the files but this can be tricky.

That is the default in Vista. That doesn't however stop someone who has
physical access to the computer and is determined.
