Hi, You can only prevent other users from opening folders that are stored in the "Documents and Settings" folder under the individual account names. For example, if you logon to your account, go to Windows explorer and right click on your account name in the Documents and Settings folder. Select properties and the Sharing tab. Next, check the box "Make this folder private" and click OK. Anyone else who logs on with their account will not be able to access files for your account. If you want to protect other files, you will have to move them into your account folder. I am not sure, but I think your drive has to be NTFS as well. Hope this helps. Steve.
