Your Mac's Specs
MBP13
Running Bootcamp and installing XPPSP3 went flawlessly on the MBP w/ Snow Leapord. I set up separate Mac/XP accounts for myself and my wife.

I established her as a limited user in XP to limit her access to sensitive information regarding work files. When I logged in as her, I had read access to the my Mac files. I don't find this funny at all.

Question: How do I limit access to the Mac files when logged into XP.

Thanks.

Limited account will only prevent her from installing programs and such that need admin access and changing system preferences.

You could turn on FileVault in Mac and see if it prevents your wife from accessing your data.
