O.P. WinXp User account problems
Ok.. today I notcied when I logged into my brothers user account which is a limited account. When he goes into My Computer he can access My Documents(not only his but my account's documents only) My account being an Administration account you would think that the file would not show up when he logged into his account or at least not have access to it.. Does anyone know how to make it not show up on his login when he loggs in with a limited account not the Administration account.

Yeah, I have the same problem, too, except the Guest account can access admin's documents which makes the Guest acc. totally useless :dodgy:

I try to make the folder private which seems to be impossible becuase My drive is FAT32 and m$ says this

You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not formatted as NTFS For information about converting your drive to NTFS, click Related Topics.

So does anyone have any ideas?

Demz, you make no sense. NTFS is NT File System, Hence WINDOWS NT (or Windows NT Based), NTFS is secure, it has security, it is FAT that does not have any security features. Don't talk about what you don't know.

No you don't have to format. Click on the link provided by DXtremz, it explains how you can convert from FAT32 to NFTS (without formatting) with basic Windows programs/functions.

There are also other 3rd party programs which can do it, like "Partition Magic".
