Well, you could store your GC data files on a USB stick, and keep that locked 
in the same drawer as your "secret papers"...

I had separate logins way back in Win 3.1 and Win95.  No file security there 
as such, but at least my wallpaper etc. stayed the same, and little brother 
couldn't change it.... which seemed like a good idea at the time.   ;-)
