hi, im running windows xp pro. until now, ive been the only user (and
administrator obviously). my mum now wants to use my computer (complete
pain in the ass) - basically every teenager's nightmare.

im basically wondering if there is a way of having it that once ive set up
her account, she cant access my private files, and also doesnt see my
internet explorer history (ahem) and so on. i thought this would have been
the case anyway, but i tried creating her account, and found that when
signed in as her, i could still get into MY 'my documents' as well as
hers......not good! and also on IE my history was coming up.

its a pain in the arse to delete history all the time, and have to keep
documents i dont want people reading in hidden folders in stuff, so
basically anyone with any tips on a way around this, please help....

thank you.
