Ok... so I'm a nube... but...

I've just moved into a shared house and their shared internet connection. One of my housemates has a network card that (he says) won't allow him to share files but DOES allow him to move files forcibly onto the other computers on the network, even when those folders aren't ticked "allow other users to change files". I had been assured he could only do this within folders that were shared on the network. I've subsequently found evidence that he can get into and change ANY folders on my PC. I'm assuming there's nothing to stop him from deleting everything, looking at personal info etc.... What can I do? Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

The network card has nothing to do with sharing capabilities, its all software controlled.
It is possible to share an entire drive and from there navigate into certain folders and what not, but typically this is not allowed for Documents & Settings, Windows or Program Files. These would need to be separately shared or their internal folders shared.
