Hey again fine, very computerish people,
Does anyone know of any ways I can hide my files from others using the computer (other administrators I mean) other than just clicking hide in the Preference menu and then turning the viewing of hidden files off??
Someone else has started using my computer and I don't want them nosing through my folders. Believe me, I know they'll try!!
I know there are programs out there that deal with this but are there any free ones? I know I'm a cheap b'stard but having just spent good money on a computer, I didn't have any left (at the moment anyway) for decent software. I'm pretty much relying on what I can find to download (who'd have thought this computer malarky would have been so stressful on a low budget!!).
Also, I was wondering if there is any way I can stop other seeing the Kazaa Lite Shared Folder. I was checking some things out and turned off viewing of my hidden files but when I clicked on another user account I found I could still see my personal Shared Folder even this user doesn't have access to K-Lite. They could see what I had downloaded. I know you probably all think I sound a bit shady, but I'm not...really. I just don't want this particular person seeing what I've downloaded etc. and broadcasting it to all I know.
If anyone can give me any tips I'd be extremely greatful, as ever.
(P.s. At this rate, I'm gonna be able to help people on here soon too!!)
