Password your account and disable Simple File Sharing..

thanks ma man. i have passworded my account but id like to be able to let my family use the pc in my account when i am not in but just not be able to access a particular folder or two. is it possible when someone clicks to open a folder it will ask them for my password?

You would have that option with XP Pro.. Why not just setup a guest account or power user account for them??

yeah but its just cos my pc is left on when i am out the house so people can go on it, i just wish there was some way to password protect some folders, it doesnt sound that difficult. ah well

thanks anyway

So, leave it on.. All you have to do is log out of your account!!
