This can be achieved by the use of permissions but will take a little work - I would also add that the default permissions of an administrator level account (even in win7 with UAC on), does not adapt well to this.

I would recommend that you set this up in standard user accounts and keep at least one admin account to control things.

create your Standard level accounts

log in as admin account and in the properties - security tab on the folders you wish to be private remove all users except the user who needs access and the administrators, (also leave any other system related users for safety).

You will need to remove catch-all groups such as everyone and Homeusers$ and specifically add the allowed user.

Rights may be assigned as required such as read, write, modify, etc. but I would advise you leave the ownership as is or manually set to administrators group.

once set-up any user that does not have specific rights assigned will not be able to access a folder.

This is the way that access is controlled on major network systems so it is a proven system, although with major systems it is normal to assign users to groups and then assign the rights to a group

As I said it will take a little work and thought but it can provide total control of a shared system

I tried somethung with security, its quite complicated.. tnx i will try

Hide the folder then do a search for files contained in the folder to see if your efforts were effective.
Example:
If the folder contains .jpg files do a search for all .jpgs in your computer and see of the ones in your hidden folder appear.

This free software works great for me.
