The best you could do is to go:

Start > Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts > Create/change account > follow the set up as instructed and when asked, pick "limited account"

I can't remember where you can make your files private and the other users can't see your files.

that's not what i mean, Guest has no option "limited account" and "unlimited account". I am talking about lock password "Start" icon in taskbar down and left corner.

I know what u are saying ok Go to start at the bottom of ur computer to Control Panel.. Go to User Account and Click on Guest and then press Block so the Guest will not see your files at all.. it will blocked them for seeing your files on the computer.. Try that... Thats what I do with My son Markus.. Cuz he is on Parent Control and I Do not want him to see my files.. cuz there are some things in there he should not be looking at...

I mean press turn off Guest( User Password-Protected filed, folders or setting are not accessible to guest user) if you turn it on the Guest will see ur files and etc. So turn it off ok... Hope that helps you now..

That happened to my 2 roommates.. One got pissed at the other for the junkware and porn on the computer, so he locked up the computer with one account and won't share his computer anymore.

And use spybot search & destroy to get the porn links and ads removed..
