Does anyone has any idea how can i secure my box? ? ? ?

You need to set lower priviledges to user1, and while you're at it, disable guest.

I actually have the reverse problem.

When I got my laptop, it was NTFS and I created myself and my roommate as accounts so we could each have our own settings. He moved out last week, and even though my account is admin, I can't delete any of his folders (he has about 2 gigs of mp3's and pr0n) to free up space. I'd hate to put my restore disk in after all the formatting I've done to it.

Any clue?

jezter, as the admin you should be able to delete his account.

jezter6> do you remember the very first password you put in when you set up the laptop? Not the one for your account, but before that. There is a user Administrator and that was the password for it... Use that login and it should fix your problem.

As far as private folders....
My Computer>C>Documents and Settings>
Right click on your user name
Click on Sharing.
There is a check box to make your files private.

You may not want to totally remove the "everyone" group from the security permissions. What you _could_
do is set the permissions per folder for each user, ie., user1 can see the Docments and Settings folder and its'
subfolders, but not access any folder that isn't explicitly the User1 folder. There may very well be a button
that automagically sets up the security settings, but the best way (oddly enough, it's a little more work) is to get
your hands dirty and do all the security settings by hand.
BTW, the issue of whether to remove the "everyone" group or not is up to the individual Admin. Personally, I
would keep it there, but cripple it. That way, if something goes horribly wrong (not that it would...) it would be easier
to start from 'scratch', as it were. Again, it's personal opinion, so my $.02 can just go into the tip jar, /dev/null...
