How do I keep my letters private, my viewing only?

L

Louise

I am writing dear diary notes to myself and do not want anyone else using my
coputer to be able to view them, or any other private notes I want to write.

My suggestion would be not to put anything like that down in writing - it
often comes back to haunt you.

Since you probably will not heed that advice...The easiest method is to keep
others off of your computer. If that's not possible, keep your log-in
private.

Easily bypassed. If the OP really wants private, an encrypting thumb
drive or memory stick would be the way to go.

My biggest concern is that the OP is a minor.

Not possible, sorry. There's nothing on your computer or any other
that can't be seen by a determined, knowledgeable person.
