2nd send Kizzie Newman gakeziah@gmail.com Mar 6 (3 days ago) to COMPUTERS Dear Computer knowledgeable folks: I use a relative's computer when I am home, about once or twice during one work week. The relative set up a second account for me to use; both of us thought it would be private, with my info separate from hers and her family. That is not the case. Just this morning I discovered all the family documents are on my account; One Drive is on my account as are their photos, notes etc. Short of buying/installing a computer of my own, is there any way to prevent this access of information between both accounts? I need (as I have read on this list) baby steps, please, but am desperate for answers to this question. Win7, 64 bit, Office 2010, not sure what additional info needed to help me.

Security on Windows depends on what kind of account you have. An Administrator account can see any other accounts files. Lesser access accounts can not (or SHOULD not) be able to access any files except that accounts. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
