    prevent access to certain folder from an account


    hi

    my computer has 2 accounts, both administrators.
    one is mine, the other is my wife's.

    I have a folder that contains pictures and videos which I don't want my wife to view/access.

    I DO need the indexing search mechanism to keep indexing it but I don't want the contents of that folder appearing while searching with HER account.

    i'm using windows 10.

    :)

    Security and access

    I have a user/administrator listed in the security tab of my hard drive and files called: desktop-caitkug/friend and: desktop-caitkug/administrator. Is this some system account? If not, can I delete it? The account prevents me from accessing certain files
    and actions.

    Block ALL programs and apps for child account with Windows 10

    Thanks for the response but unfortunately the link you referred me to only allows me to block certain websites, and prevent the child from downloading certain apps from the app store. There is no instruction on how to prevent access to existing programs
    and files on the PC.
