Trouble is, even if you use different partitions with passwords and the 
through Explorer so it's not too good really.like when Windows is loaded 
it'll still allow you to access the other drive Only thing I can think of 
is :
Encryption - So that only one user can access a certain drive.

Incompatible File systems - So windows can't see the other drive(s). - 
could install a fresh Windows95 on one partition and an upgraded 
Windows95 on another. The idea is that the first would not see the fat32 
You partition of the upgraded version's drives.

Maybe you should try NewsHound instead :-) It certainly still has bugs, 
but I've noticed nothing like this as yet.

Light users get 3 hours of internet access and are charged for any use 
over that.
Standard users are not :-)
