Just when I think I know what I am doing....We have three
user desktops on our home pc, all set as administrators.
One my teen uses, one is our family desktop, and one I use
for highly confidential and private word documents. I
passworded my private desktop so no one could open it and
thought that meant that no one else could get into my
private stuff. Imagine my absolute horror when I opened
the My Computer folder on the family desktop and found a
folder of all my documents inside. I about fainted. Then
I opened the c drive folder and found another set of my
documents. I figured out how to make them private so now
when one tries to access them from the family desktop My
Computer folder access is denied.
OK, so what else don't I know? My teen is very computer
savvy, how secure are my private documents?
