My family and I have Windows XP and each family member has their own account on the computer. I am not the HP Owner and people can see everything I do on my account, for example. I have Microsoft Works Word Processor and I use that as my personal Journal, and other users on the computer can go on their account, go on Microsoft Works Word Processor, click file, go to my file, and see what I write about. But my sister The HP owner can block anyone from seeing her files. My question is, how can I block it from seeing things on my account?

I'll tell you how to put password on your account, since you have your own account. but if it, doesn't work, then you need to enter admin account and there you should able to change or put password on it, here are the following: "start," and "control Panel," and find the icon name "User accounts," then, click on your account name, then there you should see "create password" there you should type the password you want, or wish to have, that all. Anymore question, just IM me.

Well, if you are the computer administrator you can set your files to be private (control panel, user accounts). And if not, store your precious files on a portable sotrage device (memory nowadays is really cheap).
