Hi!
I have a VAIO with Windows 7 home premium 64bit. I have two partitions on my system.
Situation is, I have flatmates who are in the habit of snooping around in my laptop. I have personal family photos, and most importantly, official documents filling most of my "my documents" in C: and entire D:
Both of these partitions are NTFS.
To solve this problem, i created a user account without administrator privileges. However it did not stop the preying eyes from scanning the contents of my computer.
I was wondering if there's any way to create a user account that:
1. Restricts access to any folder of other profiles on C:
2. Restricts access to d:
<edit>
3. Have internet access and other programs available. I just want my files hidden, not everything.
</edit>
I am skeptical about changing the access settings on individual files.
Please suggest a solution to my problem. Thanks guys
P.S. If there's any other thread dealing with the same problem, please let me know. I tried searching, but i could not find it.
