I'm a tad confused. I park all manner of folders on Macintosh HD, ie. folders alongside the standard Applications folder, Systems folder, and so on. It's a filing system I've always used, never had need to do anything different.
If I create a new Account on my Mac, for a 3rd party user, I've always thought that the new user would not have access to any of those folders on "my" Macintosh HD, other than folders which they must have access to, eg. Applications. But not folders which I've created and added files to whilst logged in as myself. I've just discovered this doesn't seem to be the case. Are all files and folders directly within the Macintosh HD folder public property as far as local users go? Or do I have a Mac behaving badly? If my Mac is supposed to behave this way, then I guess it's a little embarrassing realising this after 16 years of using Macs. Better now than never I suppose. I'm guessing that I'm going to get told that if I want a multi user machine, I should be filing my own "not for everybody" stuff somewhere within my Home folder, but thought I'd best check with the experts before I start reorganising my whole filing cabinet.
