I have a lady friend coming over tomorrow evening. There is a good chance she's going to want to hop on my computer and check out some facebook, whatever else. I don't want links auto completing to sites I'd rather her not be seeing or browsing my bookmarks and seeing the adult section. Here's the issue though - I don't want to have to sigh her off, put her on a guest account either. I'm looking for a program or some utility that will allow me to hide away the stuff on my computer that I don't need being public knowledge, including bookmarks, cookies, browsing data, passwords, etc without making a guest account, and without deleting it. Is there a program that would allow me to create "accounts" for things like browsers? Or possibly a chrome extension?

Thank you

A different user account is the only way to be sure.

+1. This is the only way to assure what you are asking to do. Just create the account and have it active when she arrives. No logging in/out required that way.

"Make" Firefox your default browser, and create another profile here. You can import *some* of your bookmarks to avoid suspiction of the "clean state" of that profile.

Also - move away your "Stuff for work" folder ;)
