    Work PC seeing my personal files at home?


    Hi,

    I have been working remotely for the last couple of months but I am now unfortunately back in the office. I have noticed something weird when I was Win + Tabbing at work, in my recent files I could see files that I was using at home?

    As you can see it's showing the full path, the program name and the motherboard model(?)

    As far as I'm aware the only connection between the two PCs is Splashtop and Microsoft Teams. I have a Splashtop server installed on the work PC only.

    Obviously, I'm a bit concerned about this - does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    Thanks

    Bookmarks linked - personal PC an work PC

    Hi,

    To your two questions :

    • Are both computers on your server?
    • Are both using Win10 and IE?
    The answer is no. Win10 is on personal PC, Win7 on work one.
