[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1034750, member: 38864"] It's all in the permissions. If you have access for "Everyone" set to Read-only (or Read/Write), then yes… "Everyone" means exactly that (well, except for yourself). You can correct this by setting the permissions to "No Access" for Everyone. If you want users on your computer other than the Guest to see these folders, then set permissions for Everyone to "No Access", then set those folders up as shared folders and turn off the option for the Guest account to access shared folders. EDIT: An alternative to setting up folders as "shared" for viewing by users other than Guest would be to add specific users to the list of permissions and giving them access. Also... to modify permissions, right-click on a folder (or file) and hit "Get Info". At the bottom, you can adjust the permissions. There's an additional option in the drop-down box to propagate those permissions to everything contained in that folder. I forget the exact wording... I'm not on a Mac at the moment. :( [/QUOTE]
