A computer may not be utilised by the same one person, throughout. There might be a time where many users would make use of the same PC. So there leaves the doors open for the outsiders to peep into your personal files and folders. So here we provide some details, how to make your folder private. This would make your personal data secure from the outsiders, or multiple users.

Please follow the following steps and you could have your own private folder:

* Open My Computer, by clicking on the My Computer Icon on the Desktop, or use the shortcut key combination Windows + E.
* Now make a double click on the drive where you have stored the Windows Application. Usually many users make use of the C: drive to store the Windows application file.
* If the contents of the drive are found to be hidden, under the Systems Task, make a click on the Show the contents of this drive.
* Now select the Documents and Settings Folder. Double click the user folder.

REMEMBER:

1. See to it that, the option of privatizing the folder is available to those that have been included to your user profile.
2. Folders in the user profile refer to the My Documents, and its subsequent sub-folders, Desktop, Start Menu, Cookies and Favorites.
3. It is to be noted that making a folder private refers to privatizing the sub-folders of the privatized folder. For instance, if you make the My Documents as private, you would privatize its subfolders like My Pictures and My Music, and other folders in it.
4. You cannot privatize any of your folders, unless your drive is not formatted as NTFS.

Have your personal data for yourself, instead of leaking it to all surrounding you. Lead a secured life.
