how do i prevent other users on a shared computer (not networked)

[Guest]

i set up a new user account on a shared computer. when i switched to the new
account, i was able to view contact information from the administrator (my)
account. how can i prevent this? likewise, when i goto sharing, and want to
lock certain folders, i see the option "To make this folder...private so that
only you have access, select the following checkbox" AND IT IS GRAYED OUT!!!
can someone help me out here? thanks!

Hi - this is an MS Outlook newsgroup. Sounds like you want to post in a
group for your operating system....but you will need to provide a lot more
information about your computer/OS/setup/network/e-mail client/whether you
have administrative rights with the account you're using.

If you're using an NT-based operating system, and NTFS, it's not hard to
separate user accounts/data and protect them from one another.

i did specify i was the administrator. so i should have specified 'contact'
information=Contacts, as in 'contacts' in Outlook. OS:i am running windows XP
pro e-mail client: Outlook 2000 and outlook express. i am the administrator.
i created a second user account, let's call it 'michael'. when i log in as
michael, and if i start outlook, it wants to have me go through the setup
wizard. i cancel this, and immediately ALL the outlook information in the
administartor's version of outlook is accesible to michael (i.e. CONTACT
info, calendar etc...) i want to prevent this. things i've tried: opened
address book-->tools-->options-->sharing data and chose "Do not share data
among MS Outlook..." and then repeated the process. still no luck.

second issue of being able to lock folders: why is this grayed out?
things i've tried: i turned off the firewall, and tried again, no luck.
i tried to use a command prompt to convert the drive to ntfs and i got a
message saying the drive was using some process or application and couldn't
convert. (i checked the processes and couldn't identify what drive D was
using?)
