i need alternate ways on hiding my aim logs so family members that use the same pc wont be able to view them.
for me, I use “Hide Files and Folders”.
but, you cant leave your AIM Logs folder hidden while using aim, because deadaim wont be able to write new logs…
so I only activate it when I am not at my computer, and signed out of aim…. which really sucks because I like being on aim 24/7…
what are your methods?
I am on XP. I just simply have a password for my account and block access to my files for everyone’s account but mine.
Back when I had to share a computer with other family members, I did what SomeGuy did. I was using Windows XP, and I created a user account for myself (Check out User Accounts in the control panel), then I configured it so that my ‘My Documents’ folder was private, and could only be accessed by my user name. Then I made sure to Winkey+L Whenever I got up form the computer. If you are on WinXP, you can enable ‘Fast User Switching’, so that 2 or more users can be logged on at the same time.
The same thing can be done With Windows 2000, but Fast User Switching is not available n Win2k. If you use 98/Me, then you are out of luck.
