| One of our admin people uses a machine that others can get to. There is a folder on the hard drive she'd like to protect.I know I can create another user to log onto the machnine, but my questions are:1. Can I password protect each account icon on the desktop (or just the admin's icon)2. Can I hide a certain folder on C:\ if the "Guest" logs on?Thanks! |

| Okay, it was a bit easier than I thought.1. Go to Control Panel / Users Accounts / Change the way users log on or off2. Un-check "Use the Welcome screen". This will now use the classic option where users are prompted for a username / password3. I set the Computer administrator User Account name to this person's name, and set the password to what they'd wanted. Also, I created a "Guest" User Account for those who need to use the computer, but don't need to see these certain documents.4. Told this user who needed the security to put sensitive documents under:C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator5. Now, only she can view the above folder when logged in as her account, and "Guest" users can't see this folder and it's contents |
