My OH's best mate is staying over. While we've been at work he's been on the computer and had a good look at all my piccys... just the ones of me I might add!!:eek: A bit creepy I know.

I've got windows 7, how can I block them or give them a password?

thanks

    Or put the pictures in a zip file with a password.
    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

    Set up a guest account and set a password for your account. It's somewhere under Control Panel -> User accounts or however it's called in Windows 7 now.
