Hello friends, I have a problem in my present living arrangements,I don't feel my computer is safe from busy hands and I use a password on regular start
but I am wondering how safe my info is if someone starts in safe mode.
I am semi new to all this so let me say ahead of time thankyou for any help and patients. fastwheels:wave:

If you have XP Pro and your drive is NTFS then you can add permissions to folders. This means that you can set it so that only your login can access your files. Even the administrator cannot see them.
