HI Bruce,
What you are telling me is, if I am using FAT32, there is no way, I can keep
My folders and file private, even in administrators account, from other
limited users of same computers. That means as far as FAT32 is concerned
there is no privacy between administrator and limited account. Right?
Regards.
