folders on PC desktop..viewable w/o Win.PW?
Windows 8
-I'm going to create a ''Windows Password'' (never had one) but i have several folders containing information sitting on desktop of my PC -So my question is even tho a password is required to load Windows will the folders sitting on my ''desktop'' still load when the PC first boots ? (without the need for the Windows Password?) If 'yes' then anyone who can boot up the PC can open them !! Where can i store them to prevent this if reply is 'yes'' ??? thanks again - edythe
