I share a computer with three users. It is my computer and two of the
other users have Administrator privileges. Although I do not want to
prevent them from adding/removing programs and accessing some shared files,
I do not want to let them into My Documents folder.

I tried removing all the user names except mine from the security tab of
the My Documents Properties. When I log in as them, although initially
access is denied to the other Administrators, nothing prevents them from
going into the security tab and taking ownership of the folder, thus
accessing my files.

Suggestions?



No. All Admin users can access all of the machine......you have two
options - encryption or put your documents on a removable drive and take it
out each time you end your session.....
