I have several users set up under Windows XP all with their own passwords. My question is that each user can get access to another users documents even though they are going in through their own password. How can I prevent this. I made my daughter a limited user but then her Itunes program wasnt working properly so I had to make her an administrator again. Isnt the whole reason you have passwords to give each user privacy. Any help would be appreciated.

There is an easy way to do this if you have window XP pro. Do you have home or pro?

when your setting up passwords for user accounts it usually asks if you want to make the folder private. clicking yes will make sure that users cant see each others files.

I will answer both the above questions in one if thats ok. Firstly, I have Windows XP Home. Secondly,I did make the folders private but because my daughter is so young I monitor her MSN use with the MSN Messenger Log. I have her conversations saved onto my side of the computer. When I set the folders to private I could not save the message log. I dont mind if I can get into her side but I would prefer if she could not get into my side.

in that case you need to make your own files private but leave her files viewable to all.

the simplest solution would be to log in as your daughter and set your own files to be hidden (right click on your folder and tick the hide box) just make sure that the folder options are set so as you cant see hidden files and folders
