we have a shared work computer running XP pro that has about 30 user accounts on it.
Users login using the ctrl-alt-del method.
There are about 3 or 4 people with admin rights and the rest are limited user accounts.
The limited accounts cannot browse other peoples "my documents" but the admin accounts can.

How do I block the administrator accounts from having access to other users files?

Im assuming this thing is just in a workgroup and your not loggin in over a domain? 

Anyways,  you might consider changing the security settings for the user profile C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>  right click and select properties and then secuirty tab.  Select each other user and deny them permission sets.  But since they are admin as well you they can prob change it back...

The only other way I can think of would be to remove admin privileges from the users.
