right click the folder go to properties and look for the option to make the folder private or password protect

hey, a related question. I know that a guest account isn't allowed to install any new programs, but can they delete stuff?I want to set my guest account so that the guest will only be able to surf the net or use instant messanger, not install or delete anything, or mess with my files. Is this possible? I try to make folders private, but it won't let me select that option. Thanks.

Once a folder was hidden and password protected only the Administrator or owner can alter or delete it. It wont even show in the Explorer once it was hidden. The Guest Account has a liimited acces as it was designed to do so.

You can set permissions on the files or folders such as set the user to read only, but be careful not to lock your self out
