Best way would probably be to delete both accounts and then reinstall them. My daughter uses a wireless laptop which runs off of my pc and every time I turned my pc on her msn messageboard used to come up on my screen. By deleting both users as well as all software connecting the two, then reinstalling them we were able to overcome this problem with the minimum amount of fuss and quite quickly too.

It sounds to me like you need to create a new folder, put your files in there, and from your 'my documents' icon on the desktop - right click it, go properties, and make the target folder window say the path name of your new directory i.e. c:\my_files or whatever your new you created is? Once done - you should 'explore' this folder from explorer, right click it, select sharing and secruity and deny other people access to i tfrom there/ make private. Even after you have done that - if the person you share the machine with had admin privaledges they could still get at your data if they wanted! (assuming you are running windows xp!). Hope this helps?

If you don't have a password then create one using the control panel remember the computer administrator controls everything so if the computer is the other persons then you won't be able to lock them out of your files.

The quick and easy fix would be to create a new account and transfer your file there. There might be some corruption in your user profile.

Open to administrator accounts!
I've ever had your problem and then it worked.
