How to Make a Folder Private

G

Guest

I am logged in as Computer Administrator on Windows XP; there are three other
people sharing the computer with me with Limited Accts. I have some
files/folders that I do not want shared or seen by the others.
How do I make the folder private and password protected. I do have my User
Account password protected but when the others open up their accts, they can
open my private folders under my user name.
There is a box to check labeled "Make this folder private" but it is is not
able to be highlighted (grayed out) --this folder is located in "File and
Folder Tasks", "Share this Folder", and under the "Sharing Tab." How can I
make this box checkable? If i could check this box, would it make the folder
I want to be private, non-openable by the other Limited Acct Users?
