I am the administrator for our computer and I have some kids who have their
own limited user names. Could you give me some info and some reading
material on how secure my data is which is kept in "My Documents" under my
name. Are there any "back-doors" that I need to be concerned about? We have
XP Home version and the computer is formatted as NTFS and my account is
password protected. Thanks very much.
