Hello experts !

I have long time working with Microsoft Word, having hundreds of files and documents with tons of information.

As I am the only one a home who uses my p.c. I have had not need of a password to all my files. But in a few weeks they will come a lot of relatives and of course they will use this p.c. a lot, so I was wondering how could I set up a "log in password" so to keep my privacy and being myself the only one with access to ALL these MSW documents ? I have tried making a different user from the Start menu of my p.c. but still all the users have access to the MSW files. What is the way to do it ? thanks in advance for your help, best, Antonio.

Get or build a USB external hard drive, cut/paste the files to that drive. Take that external drive somewhere safe and away from the PC.
Now there will be no files on the PC itself to find.

or

Get TrueCrypt and encrypt the files, no key, no view.
