LAN, wireless internet pravicy and security

D

Daniel

I connect to the internet through my (LAN) wireless connection on a public
network. My files can be viewed by others on my network if I disable my
security set-up. My question is if I am online using my first user profile
are the files on my second user profile safe from viewing by someone on my
network ? I other words, if I only keep My Document files on my second user
log-in profile are they safe from view while I am online using my first user
log-in profile?

I think using a different user profile when going online by wireless
connection would automatically disable any access to files stored in a
different user profile. Is is ture? Explain.

Not an Office question - suggest posting to a Windows networking group.
