Would you look through a mate's recent documents?

stoneill · 20-12-2011 07:34PM

If you found this stuff - it's probably because they wanted you to find it.

Kinky feckers.

smallBiscuit · 20-12-2011 07:36PM

As a general rule, I don't look, fixing someones comp, I keep my eyes closed, don't look at recent history, keep out of browser cache, etc. I don't know of they are kinky weird feckers, I do not want to know.

I assume they are :-)

If someone leaves their computer somewhere - absolutely not.
If someone asks me to fix their computer - yes.

Part of fixing the computer is going to be me trying to backup their stuff. That means looking around to find their personal stuff they don't want to lose and making a copy.

My sis in law hides no secrets, freaks me out some times. She was showing me photos from a night out when suddenly her bits were on the screen and she went into a story of how she took the photos for her gyno following problems since child birth.

I didn't want or need to see them!

Smash, if you're a girl, that's sorta ok. Of you're a bloke, I think you're missing the message she's trying to give you :-)

Nope not intentionally anyway. I logged on to youtube on a friends computer once and all this hardcore porno sh1t start coming up on the Recommended (because you watched) viewing. He was sitting beside at the time, bit of an awkward moment but I just pretended not to see anything.

It can easily happen.

If any of my friends leave their phone in my company I look through it in dept. Text messages, photos the lot. I'm mainly checking to see if they've said or done anything against me behind my back. But I've seen photos of some of them in the nip and read some of the pervy **** they text their other half. You learn a lot about a person.

O' ...not good.

I better clarify because I think people think I'm being serious. I should have used this :rolleyes:little fellow from the beginning but I HATE HIM!
I've never looked through someones phone or pc documents. Anyone who does purposefully needs to be evaluated.

One of the lads here tellin me it happened before and about ten of his friends saw a clip of him and his girlfriend.. This was years ago when he was about 24. I know I wouldn't look through someones history in case of what I'd see.

So is it fair game or completely out of order?

I'd consider it completely out of order and a breach of your friend's trust.

Besides, say if you did go snooping and were to find something that made you think differently about your friend - you can hardly say anything about it as it would show you up for being a nosey, untrustworthy person.

If there's a lesson here, it's this: sharing a computer doesn't mean sharing an account. If you give each user their own account, then no-one can see anyone else's private files, including browser history etc. If it's your computer, everyone else should be a "standard" user with no administration rights. Enable the Guest account (on Windows) for strangers needing quick access. Lock the screen (Win+L) or log out if you have to leave the computer.

These days, with a multi-user OS like Windows 7, there's no excuse for using someone else's account. You obviously can't trust people to respect your privacy.

Paparazzo · 20-12-2011 10:51PM

I remember about 10-12 years ago when the I was just discovering the internet, my mate wanted to know how to clear history. I went into temp internet files, or history (can't remember which) and you could clearly see what he typed into a yahoo search.
I can still remember falling around laughing after seeing "spank me teacher" and "anal assassins". He said he was bored one night and was typing in everything.

Learn to incognito or private browse. Running another user profile would delay somebody for about five seconds if they were snooping.

I don't think you understand what I mean. I'm not talking about e.g. a Firefox profile. I'm talking about not letting anyone else use your computer account at all. Assuming you use a strong password: once you lock the screen, log off or "switch user", a casual snooper (which is what this thread is about) can not access any of your files at all. A "Standard" user (since Windows 2000) does not have the rights to see any files in someone else's profile at all - regardless of what browser mode they used.

Of course a serious snooper could hack the system with by booting from a CD or USB device, but that's beyond the scope of this thread. If a casual snooper could see someone else's files in 5 seconds, the accounts are not set up correctly. A common failure is to give Admin rights to people who don't need them, out of "convenience" - so don't do that!

Private / Incognito mode has its uses, of course, to avoid situations as described earlier e.g. someone looking over your shoulder and seeing what comes up. Or you could use a different computer account for your ... private browsing.

Carter P Fly · 21-12-2011 09:34AM

Profiles are a pain in the neck and anyone who cant clear their own browser history etc is going to not remember passwords etc.

My god, Thinking about how often I'd be called to log my dad into his account because his desktop is different doesnt bear thinking about!!!

Single user auto signon FTW

Stiffler2 · 22-12-2011 04:09PM

Ye - My mate has AVG Anti Virus installed on his PC which created a folder called "AVG Vault" for the viruses or a similiar name to that.

He has duplicated this folder and put all his porn in there hoping no one will find it because who wants to go into the quarantine folder ??

Basically we found out he's into BBW or as I like to call em "Obese Fat Be-atches who think they're beautiful"

Needless to say he's had nothing but stick from us over this incident since.

He's nothing but a chubby chaser
