Hi,

I have just set up a new user on my computer, with me
being the administrative user (access to all computer). I
have set the user to limited (and we each have own
passwords) which is supoosed to not let them see any of
my files or allow them to install programs etc. However,
the user can still click on the start menu, go to my
computer, then open the C:local disk to access 'my
documents' and can can still see my files after all (even
files I delete from my user settings are still shown in
the recycle bin on his user setting). Not so private
after all :o) Does anyone know how I can forbid access of
my files to other users on my computer?

Cheers

Jase.
 
You can use NTFS security to restrict access to files and directories.
