My Documents folder Make them private

If you want to password protect your My Documents folder, or in fact any folder which is unique to your user account (such as My Photos, Favourites, Desktop, Start Menu), and youʹre using the NTFS file system, you can do it by implementing the following: ‐

Right‐click on the folder in Explorer

Select the Sharing tab

Tick the ʹMake this folder privateʹ box.

Now the folder and all its subdirectories will be password protected with your user password.

However, if youʹre logged in as the Administrator, or youʹve set no user password for speedy logon to Windows XP, this tweak is not particularly useful.

If you try it, youʹll be prompted to set a password, and unless youʹre worried about others accessing your private folders, itʹs not worth the additional effort if youʹre the only user.

Just thought I’d point this out
