Windows 10: Windows 10 - Dangerous behavior with personal files

Yesterday I've the first time installed Windows 10 as upgrade to Windows 7 and I have already the firt problems.
All seems something strange and complicate compared with the older Wins and Linux. ... And I generally use Windows very rarely!

But now to the real item:
During my system exploration I noticed a strange folder in File explorer with my housemate's name. Actually I get internet through his router via WiFi. I opened this folder and I get really access to all his data!
Obviously I informed him about but I'm now worried about my data.
Is it possible, that Windows 10 give free the data saved of hard disks and other drives?

Thank you in advance for replays.

Windows 10 - Dangerous behavior with personal files

Do you perhaps mean the folder/files were on his PC, and you were seeing them on that PC because your two PCs have networking configured? (If my other PC was on you would see its name with Thinkpad t440s ...)




- via Networking in the navigation pane (on the left).

If that's how you saw it, then it would be shared by your friend as Samuria said for you to be able to see it.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
