    To explain what I'm trying to do I need to explain why I'm doing it:On my PC I have a work user and a personal user, the work user is solely used for work I work from home and the personal user is everything else like gaming, messaging etc.I switch between these users quite frequently and need to be able to do so by switching accounts from the start menu. I use a an external hard drive that I can access from both accounts as a middleman incase I need to access files from both users.What I want to do is have my work user file on one SSD and my personal user file on a second SSD, is this possi

    Changing List separator to Comma

    Hi

    Could you help me about List separator?

    I've changed List separator from semicolon to comma(and saved it).

    But it seemed that List separator was still semicolon.

    Is it because "Decimal separator" is "comma"?

    (I found the some websites that said that if the "Decimal separator" is "comma", List separator will not changed from semicolon to comma even though "List separator" is "comma". But I'm not sure if it's true or not. )

    *The "format" setting is "English(Netherlands)" in my PC.

    Thank you.

    Multiple Users Files on HDD, Separate From SSD Boot Drive

    I have a new PC build with with Windows 10 and programs on a SSD, and a separate HDD for files. I know I can create folders on the HDD and change the "location" settings on the default user folders such as Documents and Downloads to point to the folders
    on the HDD. But if there are multiple users on the computer, they can all see each other's files. Even if you separate them into different folders on the HDD ("Joe > Documents" & "Joe > Downloads" vs "Suzy > Documents" & "Suzy > Downloads"), they can still
    navigate up to the HDD and see the other users' files and folders.

    Any way to set up that HDD such each user only sees their own files, with no way to see the others'?

    Thanks.

    Separate users on separate SSD's on the same computer.

    Multiple User separation

    I'm trying to figure out how to actually make completely separate user accounts. I have my typical admin account that I will be remoting into, but I need a separate one that is completely separate and limited. I want to have a set amount of space from
    a partition for this account and to have the ability to download/execute programs and have a set amount of local storage for files, but no more access. I don't want them to be able to see my folders, files, programs, system files, etc. I tried a simple guest
    user, but they could still access and open everything like normal.

    How do I get this set up?
