I am trying to block my personal files on my computer from the guest account and I was wondering how I do this?

Is this the default guest account or one that you created specifically for guests?

OK, I think that was important to know; however, since I do not have the inherent knowledge of how to do that off the top, I believe there are many forum members that do have that knowledge so I'm hoping one of them will walk you through this issue. Good luck.

There's a simple way to do this:
go to Security tab in Properties, Edit permissions, you'd keep System, Administrators, "your user" and remove other users
they can not access your folder without admin's password, <log in other user to check>
(You can add them back anytime)
