What OS are you using?
If you are using 2k or XP with different login accounts you can keep your stuff private that way. If you are linux it's too simple, just keep your file and folder privledges set correctly. If you are on a shared PC you could always install PGP (Pretty good privacy) and encrypt folders or files. Just a few ideas for you... Cheers

Hmm, Windows98 isn't that great for multiple users and security is it =) I would probably suggest the PGP solution then. As I mentioned, it can be a bit slow with the encrypting and decrypting, but at least your stuff will remain private. You can encrypt entire folders, single files, and it also has a shredder, which will delete your file, and overwrite the harddrive with ones and zeros a bunch of times after you delete, to ensure it can't be recovered (easily).

You should also check the Software top 20 for that category, it shows what people prefer.
Good luck!
