Windows Vista Home Premium Permissions

[surrey100]

Hi I did the following on my guest user account a few months ago which I can't seem to be able to reverse. In my guest account I went to C drive > user accounts then clicked my account (my name and I am the administrator) and it wouldn't let me in. I then did something which I can't remember and it gave me permission/ access so now all my documents etc in my acocunt can be used viewed via the guest account. When I did it I remeber this greeen bar at the top of teh window which took about 5 mins to load before it said I had access. How do I reverse this so no other account can use my files?

Thank you

Are you sure, it's standard Guest Account, not (new)User Account? Default Guest Account doesn't have permission to access your files, install programs, etc.

Yes 100% sure its a standard Guest account as I created it by clicking 'turn guest account on'. Please help.

I (think) this is what I did - I clicked my user account while in guest account (went to C: > user accounts >clicked the folder with my name) A message then came up saying 'you don't have access to this account/these folders - Do you want access to this account/these folders'. (I can't remember the exact words). I clicked yes, entered my password ina box that appeared > the vista green loading bar appeared at teh top of teh window which took a few minutes to load then I had access to all my files via the guest account.

How do I reverse this so the guest account does not have access to my files?

Thank you

It would be easier to create a brand new account with the priviledges set as you like transfer the User name and delete the old one...

and delete the old one

I don't think, you can delete Guest Account, or I'm wrong?
