Hi.
Can anyone help me please, I want to password protect my computer so no one can access my files, but I don’t know how to go about doing it, I am using Windows XP Professional.
Many thanks
Clive
I don’t use windows so this is completely from memory:
click start, click the picture at the top of the start menu next you your user name.
A window will appear that lets you change your user icon, at the top of this window the is a button labeled “user accounts” (or something similar), click it and it will show you a list of all the user accounts on that computer.
click the icon for your user account and click create a password.

A windows password will not stop an experienced user from reading your documents, but it will stop most people.
If you are dealing with / storing ANY sensitive information you should be looking at full disk encryption
