Assign a password to your user account, in the control panel (users and
passwords applet.)
Then, lock the computer by hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL and choosing Lock computer
(or hit the "Windows logo key" + L)
Other people with administrator accounts on the computer will be able to
override this, but if they do, it will log you off. They won't be able to
see what you were doing.
If you enable a screensaver and choose to 'password protect' it, it will
lock the computer after a specified period of time.
