Thanks, guys. I ended up figuring it out: In the folder's permissions, I simply entered each of my family members' account names, and selected "Deny" under "Full Control", blocking all rights to that folder for them. (Before, I was trying to figure out a single group name that would include all of them, but not me---but there was no "Standard Users" counterpart to "Administrators".)

And for some reason---just to add one of those interesting Vista mysteries---now none of them can even open the "Users" folder, much less any of my personal folders. That Bill G. likes to keep us guessing, doesn't he?

Cheers, A.
