How do u make sure the person working on your PC can't access ur files
I had problems with my computer a while back and couldn't fix it myself. So I had to take my computer to a place that could fix it for me. And you have to leave your computer with them while they work on it. I have a password to log into my user account, but they had to have it in order to fix my computer since my user account is the administrator account. I don't like that because they could access my private documents. They probably wouldn't, but still they could.
I tried a free software that password protects your files, but I didn't like the way it worked. I'm wondering if there isn't another way. Like, could I create another user account that isn't an administrator account and make that my main account? That way they couldn't access it because I would have a password and they wouldn't need that password because it's not an administrator account. Would that work?
If it would work, it would be a lot of work to transfer all my files from one user account to another, could I just change my current user account from being an administrator account to not being an administrator account? And then create another user account and make it the administrator?
I am using Windows 7 if it matters.
