How do I block access to documents save in a folder. I have several personal word docs (CV, cover letter etc) in a folder in word which I have just realised my boss has access to. I just tried to access her folder which is blocked. Surely there is a way I can block her accessing my folder. Please only post reply if you know how to do it. I do not need to be reminded that as my boss, she has authority to access my pc.

In a word no, as I assume you are using a comman sever which the administator gives rights to nominated people that can see others folders say like your boss.
But what you can do is to hide the folder with a name, right click on the folder click properties, click security under general tab under the attributes click in hidden this will then not been shown, even to you.
This also works on a stand alone machine
But you will need to remember the name of the folder/directory :-)
You could just deny access, under security but that if the folder is shown be obvious.

Her folders have been shared with personal permission. Mr. X can read, others can't access.
1. Yours have been shared for everybody. Or,
2. Your boss can access your computer as an admin.
Easiest way to hide the folder, use program named FolderLock, Magic Folders etc.

There is always a way to go around that. The only sure way is to disconnect your files from the system when you don't need them. Use a memory stick and carry it around...
