Hi all
Me and my girlfriend have just moved into our flat over the weekend, my PC is the main computer in the flat and I have set up an account on it for her to log in. I set it to a limited account so she can't change things etc, but what I want to do is limit her to certain things as my PC is used for my work and currently holds important freelance and portfolio work.
I have 3 HDD's 2 of which are backups, one for downloads and one for work, i would like to limit her so she can't edit/open do anything to any of the stuff on the Backup HDD. I would also like to limit her so she can't open up certain programs.
This is because even though our documents folder etc are different my programs still show up as shortcuts on her dtop if she logs in?
Is there a way I can do this easily/effectively?
Cheers,
Adam

Look at the security options (right-mouse-click on a drive/directory, and select the Security tab) - just add her username and make sure no options are selected (like read, write etc). Just make sure you are an administrator.
As for the desktop icons, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop - move the icons that you don't want her seeing to C:\Document and Settings\<YourUsername>\Desktop.
Hope this helps mate
