1 PC, 5 Users, why does everyone sees everything?
Hi there.
Win 7 x64 Home Premium
So, I am new to multiple users and user accounts on 1 machine, but I tried.
I bought a 2nd PC to be used by my wife and 3 boys. My account is the Admin account.
I have created (with the default settings except for adding a password to every account) the 4 accounts and my understanding was that all the files in the, for example, pictures folder, will be hidden from other user accounts. I have just discovered that I was wrong.
Yesterday we went out as a family and my youngest son took some pictures for his album which he saved to a sub-folder in his Pictures Library. To my surprise, these files were available with Full Control to the other users.
I thought that every account's files will not be accessible to the other accounts. What I have also discovered, is that when I delete a picture from the owner's account, it is also deleted in the other accounts' Picture Libraries.
What do I need to do to "fix" this? Is this not supposed NOT to happen? (Remember, I am new to multiple user accounts. )
Regards,
Deon
