Subject: WINDOWS Password / Secutity..., please Help

Hi, my name is Allan.

I have had my computer for about 6 months, and everything has been more or
less O.K.. However, now that my nephew needs to use the computer, I am
having problems. The trouble is that we can read each others work and
information etc.; does anyone know how to set the system so that all my
settings, folders, documents, files, "pictures", etc. are not accessable to
him and viceversa.

Also, my Windows Password feature has been disable from day one; can anyone
help me to re-enable (re-install it).
I would be most grateful.

Many thanks,

Allan Boyd

-- I think that even though you use the windows 95 default PASSWORD,
(password under control panel) it doesn't prevent your nephew to view your
files.  It's only for customizing your windows 95 desktop looks for
different person. (I.e. your wallpaper, sounds, etc)
But if you worry about your files being access.  Try MAGIC FOLDER.  You can
download it from www.download.com
It will make your folder invisible and inaccessible unless you have the
password.  (of course don't forget your own password to that folder)
Good luck

Win95 has no real security features. If you have data you want kept private,
you should keep it on removable media under lock and key. Even then, you may
not be completely safe.

delete all the *.pwl files in the windows folder.
