Making my folders private
I have a laptop with Windows Vista installed.
How do I make my folders private?
At the moment al of my files are visible to other computer users.
Can anyone help me?

That isn't possible in the same way as it was in XP. Standard users can't access anyone's files but their own. Administrators can access everyone's files, including other administrators.
So if you want to prevent other users from seeing your files, you must at least make their accounts standard(called limited in XP). You can do this from start -> control panel -> classic view -> User accounts. User account control must also be enabled. They will be required to enter an administrator's password to install programs and make certain changes.
Alternatively, you can use a third-part application like truecrypt to encrypt your files. This will prevent other accounts from seeing your files, but you must explicitly put files in the truecrypt volume. All of your normal files will not be encrypted. Download:

Are they being shared by limewire, napster or bearshare etc.
If they are then you have to go to the setting and choose to stop sharing the files
If you have anymore questions message me back.
