Default File sharing advice please

I'm not at all sure how this permissions thing works on Vista Home Premium.
My problem is this ... I have two user accounts on the PC - the main one is
for everyone in the household and the other is for work. At present, when
logged on as the main user, anyone can gain access to my work account
including files, folders etc. Basically, I want to prevent anyone from
seeing/changing/using the files, folders etc. in the work account when they
are logged on to the main account, as was the case when I used XP and had the
work account folder set as "make this folder private".

I should also mention that my backup program will need to be able to access
my work files for my daily backup even though it runs automatically from the
main user account.

Any advice will be appreciated. Many thanks.
