Hi,

I am the only one who uses my computer so I am not as savvy as some about users. I wanted to know, if you have different users, are they still able to see your folders. If so, how can you have different users, but keep your folders (or files) private.

Thanks,

So the answer is YES, they do have access? From the links, I was able to gather that each user gets his own documents folder, plus settings etc. I take it from your second link you are saying that other users could gain access to your folders unless you protect them.
