  1. How to hide file from other family users?


    I've hidden my files by changing properties of the files so that only I can see them when wanted through show hidden items option, but when someone from my family group in their space use the same option show hidden items they can also see them in my drive. So, I want to know that if I can hide my files so that another member or local user can't use my files I want to separate all the files from the different spaces, like only I can see my file when logged in other person can see their files only when logged in their space.

    :)

  3. Hide or Show User Profile's Personal Folders in Navigation Pane

    Hello Brink and thank you. This website is a very helpful resource. How to hide file from other family users? :)

    Your suggested answer will hide the User Profile folder in the Navigation Pane.

    Instead, this scenario involves not hiding the User Profile folder but hiding specific Personal Folders in the Navigation Pane that are marked "Hidden" in the Files/Folders Listing Area.

    My suspicion is that there are more "PinToNamespace" registry entries for me to toggle the DWORD value.
