Want to keep your folders more secure and private while sharing a computer with others???? Heres how....

1. First your hard drive has to be formatted using "NTFS". Unless you have dual boot with another operating system on it...

2. Right click on the folder you want to make private.

3. Choose "Properties" and go to the "Sharing" tab and check "Make this folder private".

4. Click "Apply".

NOTE: If you do not have a password on your account, a box will pop up and ask you if you would like to assign one...You must click yes or the folder will not be private. Here is how to set up a password...

1. Type in the password and then confirm it.

2. Click the "Create Password" button and then close the window.

3. Click "OK".

Now no one else can access that folder....

That's cool, but I don't have anything to hide. And other people aren't usually on my computer, but useful to know. Thanks for sharing.
