    Other user's files coming up in start menu search


    There are several accounts on my PC and when I use the search bar in the start menu, it finds files from the other accounts. How can I make it only search through my account? Thanks!

    Welcome adrianapeach49 to the windows 7 forum.

    The reason you see them is because your logged on as administrator. You can see everything. The only way to correct
    that so that only your files show up is to use a reduced security account.
