Don't share with people that you can't trust not to be busy-bodies.

Since that might not be possible anymore, and since it appears you are
already sharing this computer, the only way you can be reasonably sure
of your privacy, is to do a clean install of XP, then set up the other
people with limited user accounts, before you let them to continue to
share the computer. Why do you need to reinstall from scratch? Because
you don't know if one of the people you share the computer with has made
a password reset disk for the Administrator's account already, and if
someone did, they would be able to override any attempts you take to
limit them with this present install of XP.
