i have windows xp home, and i want to keep private some
files/folders on my user account. I know on properties
there should be a check box , but its grey and wont let
me check it. I've tried formatting to NTFS, but i dont
even know if it already is! Wont do anything anyway,
maybe doing something wrong.
I thought that only i could access my personal files
anyway, but my daughter can log on in her name, log on to
aol and when she wants to insert a pic in an e-mail, she
has access to all my pics aswell!!! really bad news!!
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPlease help
