Randy, I'm not 100% certain, but if you have everyone
logging in under their own profile, then each such
individual will have access to most information on the the
hard drive with the exception of what is stored under other
user's profiles. In other words, store your work info
under your profile and simply choose to "not share" this
information with others.
I know it's a pita, because it adds length to your file
paths. However, I think it is an effective way of keeping
the kiddies out of there. Try it and let us know.
