how to make a file private

[jb]

I have several people using my pc (windows xp) and they
each have their own log on etc. I want to hide my
personal documents, which are under my user name. I have
tried, but they ask me to switch from a fat to a nsft?
format. I tried to do this but i am not sure i am doing
it right, as it did not work. How do you make a file
private so only i can see it when i log on?

If you are running XP Home:

You Cannot Select the "Make This Folder Private" Option

"The Make this folder private" option requires the NTFS file system.
