> In fact by default the files in a user's home folder (including Documents, Videos etc.) are inaccessible to other (non-privileged) users on Windows. Sure that's certainly right but physical access doesn't force you to be "on Windows". > This is true, and also why I lock down my BIOSs and set the OS as the only boot device. I never talked about you specifically, you are a tiny tiny minority. Even then, that just block your computer. If you can't bypass that BIOS (seriously doubtful), the hard drive is still accessible. > Encryption, however, cannot be broken without your credentials. Is there an encryption on by default? That must be new because I'm pretty sure I never had trouble to access my user folders on some of my old Windows 7 installation (that's would be a good 20% of Steams users). I can't find anything about this, if I have time tonight I'll try to see if I can access my user folder through another OS.
