user profiles (W2K)

[adzz]

ok, im running windows 2k on a home pc and theres about 3 of us that use it. we all have our own logon & pass etc but ive noticed every user can gain access to the documents and settings folder in the root drive, even access other peoples files and delete, copy them etc... how can i stop this?

You should set up permissions on your individual folders so that only the specific user has access. To do this you must have the NTFS file system on the drive.

From Windows Explorer Help

To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions

Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the file or folder for which you want to set permissions.
Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
Do one of the following:
To set up permissions for a new group or user, click Add. Type the name of the group or user you want to set permissions for using the format domainname\name, and then click OK to close the dialog box.
To change or remove permissions from an existing group or user, click the name of the group or user.
In Permissions, click Allow or Deny for each permission you want to allow or deny, if necessary. Or, to remove the group or user from the permissions list, click Remove.
