Since you have a domain I would recommend you implement roaming profiles, and make users logon with their own account. Then, simply use NTFS permissions to restrict access to files or folders.

Hello Folks,<br />
<br />
I manage a small network were the same domain user account and profile is used on 4 computers since the users constantly swap desks. Two of the users want to make a few folders private from the other two. Most of the users are not very technical. Is there a solution to this issue that someone can recommend? <br />
<br />
Thanks!
