Is my work computer secure from coworkers accessing my files?

For what it's worth, if you're seriously worried that someone might be accessing your files, consider checking if there's larger management-driven audits going on. Sometimes it’s not just coworkers snooping; it might be a bigger organizational check.

If your coworkers have domain accounts, that usually doesn’t give them local admin access to your machine. So as long as your company has proper permissions set up in Active Directory, you should be safe, provided no one's been granted elevated rights.

You can try searching online for how to apply basic audit policies to your files or folders. This way, you can keep track of who’s accessing what. Just a heads up though, it's also good to ask why you're feeling suspicious—sometimes it might just be paranoia, but it's better safe than sorry!

Honestly, it’s better to approach this as a management issue rather than a tech one. If you’re concerned about your privacy or if there's any weirdness going on, it’s best to speak with your manager.

First off, remember that if you're using a work computer, those files technically belong to the company, not you. It’s generally a good idea to avoid storing personal files on there. But if you're still worried about snooping, it's worth having a chat with your IT department about the access controls set up at your workplace.
