| 197950 | 2003-12-08 05:06:00 | To determine your file system type go into My Computer and right click on the C drive (if that is your hard disk drive) and select properties. Under the General Tab you will see File System: it will say either NTFS or FAT32. It sounds like both your accounts are admin. This explains why you can see the files still when you look at the other accounts "hidden" files. What do the other users of the computer use to log on with? If you set up the other computer users with their own login accounts and make them "Limited" accounts you can have better control over the computer and what remains hidden (if your system is NTFS). |

| 197952 | 2003-12-09 04:23:00 | To convert FAT32 to NTFS please read this first - MS Article (www.microsoft.com). It explains the differences between the two formats and what changing them means. It also has warnings about backing up your important data first as a precaution. Detailed instructions on how to convert from FAT32 to NTFS can be found here (www.microsoft.com). Post back if you have any questions about these instructions. You still will need to set up new limited accounts for the other computer users. |
