Password protection for My Documents

Just to add to Dave's good advice: User accounts is the mechanism XP
uses to keep files confidential. If the other users on the computer do
not have administrator permissions, they cannot see the contents of
anyone else's My Documents folder but their own. If they try to access
folders in your account they will be stopped with the following message:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your account> is not accessible. Access is
denied.

This protection does not apply to files you store outside of My
Documents. Within My Documents, your files are safe, with no further
action needed on your part.
