To make your folders private
Open My Computer.
Double-click the drive where Windows is installed
(usually drive (C:), unless you have more than one drive
on your computer).
If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System
Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive.

Double-click the Documents and Settings folder.
Double-click your user folder.
Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then
click Properties.
On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private
so that only I have access to it check box.
 Notes

To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My
Computer.
This option is only available for folders included in
your user profile. Folders in your user profile include
My Documents and its subfolders, Desktop, Start Menu,
Cookies, and Favorites. If you do not make these folders
private, they are available to everyone who uses your
computer.
When you make a folder private, all of its subfolders are
private as well. For example, when you make My Documents
private, you also make My Music and My Pictures private.
When you share a folder, you also share all of its
subfolders unless you make them private.
You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not
formatted as NTFS. For information about converting your
drive to NTFS, click Related Topics.
