computer b-z cant access files on computer a in any way shape or form
but me on computer a still can?



It sounds like you have some private files on a network server somewhere
and you access them using your PC.

If you want to keep other users from seeing the files, you need to set
the security settings for the folder(s) so that only yourself can see them.

This may be tricky since it depends on how much flexibility the network
admins have given you. Also, you can't hide anything on a server from a
network admin.....

Why not move the files to your workstation and lock them down there?
