Solved How to make shared folder private

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit. The PC is essentially used only by me. I'm admin of course. I do have a guest account that I recently activated for my spouse to use. The issue is over sharing files and folders. I have 'stuff' on my PC that I do not want anyone but me to access. I thought I had disabled all access to shared folders. But one folder remains accessible in the guest account. Its the RECENT ACTIVITIES. The target or path is C:\Users\guest\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\recent. Previous I had cleared the cache then removed permissions. But today I see the same files and folders are accessible. What can I do to ensure the guest account has no access to music, pictures and documents that are in my, adminis folder.

Hello, and welcome to the Forums, i was looking here : http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/139940-tutorial-index.html#post738314 in the F's and found these 3 : File and Folder - Hide or Unhide - Windows 7 Forums , http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/99959-encrypt-decrypt-folder-file.html , http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/157304-folder-permissions.html
I hope one of those does what you want to do. Post back results please.

For one, that is a folder assigned to the guest account that creates shortcuts to files access by guest. I recommend that you do not mess with this folder and since it is only creating these shortcuts for the guest account I don't see why you'd care. Yes it can be hidden but the windows folder encryption is not available to the home versions.
