Microsoft Administrator Accounts Privacy - Microsoft Community

if have 2 different administrator accounts, how keep 1 viewing other's files?

in other words, having more 1 account administrator access in windows mean there no privacy between two, case far can tell, or there way around user using own account can access such things folders, search histories, messaging app caches , on?

even if you're administrator, can still keep files private using file permissions.  only permissions can read files, , owner (or member of group of owners) can change permissions.  that's why administrator it's possible locked out of folder -- if you're not owner can't change permissions give access.

by default user's folders private user (you'll blocked if go try view them).  however since administrators owners default, in case go edit permissions.  so concerned party want plan ahead , change security permissions on folders trying keep private. or store data in cloud behind password.

you'll notice while can take ownership of folders, there's no mechanisms getting user's secrets stored usernames , passwords, without knowing login password first.

better practice: no 1 administrator during normal usage. if try open else's folder, they'll denied. won't able change since aren't admin , can't elevate, , true single owner of computer can decide happens it.
