I'm on Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP 3
I am an Administrator on my PC with a password protected logon.
From the Control Panel > User Accounts, I made a new logon for a friend to use. I made this a Limited account. But when I logon as this limited user, I can acess all of my personal files that are under my Administrative logon (C:\Documents and Settings\default\My Documents - these files are NOT shared). I want to be sure that when my friend is using my PC, she can't see my personal files.
I also enabled the system's Guest account and logged in under that, but I could still access all of the files under the Adinistrative logon.
How can I make it so that my files are not accessible by people logged in under different logons?
 
Thanks, you guys! It turns out that I did need to convert to NTFS file system.
