| 231537 | 2004-04-23 07:46:00 | Why is it that i have an admin account, on xp pro and all my files (my whole user folder) is all encrypted, but yet a limited user can still access my files??? What do i have to do to get some privacy maaaaaan??? -Jared |

| 231538 | 2004-04-23 08:55:00 | access yes... but can the limited user change,alter or delete? or just view? :) |

| 231539 | 2004-04-23 09:11:00 | Uhmm whats the point of having an encrypted file if someone can read it? lol Try PGP either with using the disks or encrypting individual files, or drivecrypt. XP = worst encryption system ever created. |

| 231540 | 2004-04-23 23:13:00 | Amen to that bruthaa... but still, even without the encryption, isnt windows xp supposed to deny access to an admins files from a limited user? |

| 231542 | 2004-04-24 01:01:00 | it is formatted in ntfs... buuutttt.... incase i selected the "dont make my files private" when i created my user, can i change it to make my files private or do i have to create a whole new user to select the "make my files private"? |

| 231543 | 2004-04-24 02:38:00 | Nope you don't have to make a new user, right click on the folder you want to secure and have a play round with the permission and security. Make sure you give "SYSTEM" full access and yourself, but you can deny access to anyone else. | KingWave (5517) | ||
