Your goal is to create a setup on your laptop where multiple users can have their own private, isolated environments, with each user’s data and applications completely hidden from others. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this: 1. Setting Up Multiple User Accounts in Windows A. Creating User Accounts Create Separate Local User Accounts: Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users. Click on Add someone else to this PC. Choose I don’t have this person’s sign-in information and then Add a user without a Microsoft account. Enter the new user’s name, password, and security questions. Set Up User Permissions: Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage another account. Select the account you want to change, then Change the account type to ensure it has the correct permissions (standard or administrator). B. Hiding User Accounts Modify the Registry to Hide User Accounts: Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList. Right-click on UserList, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new value as the user account name you want to hide. Set its value to 0 to hide the account. Restart your PC for changes to take effect. Using Local Group Policy Editor: Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit Enter. Go to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. Configure policies like Deny log on locally or Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services to restrict access. 2. Creating Virtual Machines for Complete Isolation If you want complete isolation of environments: A. Setting Up Virtual Machines Install VirtualBox: Download and install VirtualBox. Create a New Virtual Machine: Open VirtualBox and click New. Follow the wizard to set up a new VM, allocate resources (RAM, storage), and install the OS of your choice. Install and Configure OS in the VM: Install the OS (e.g., Windows, Linux) in the virtual machine as you would on a regular computer. Configure user accounts within the VM for isolation. B. Using VM Snapshots and Encryption Snapshots: Create snapshots of your VM configurations to save different states (e.g., one for work, one for personal use). Use the Snapshots feature in VirtualBox to manage these states. Encryption: Enable disk encryption for your VM to protect data. This can be configured through Settings > General > Encryption. 3. Advanced Solutions For further privacy and control, consider these options: A. Using Specialized Software Sandboxing Software: Tools like Sandboxie can isolate applications and their data. Privileged Access Management (PAM): Solutions like CyberArk can offer high levels of security and user isolation. B. Multiple Boot Environments Dual Boot Setup: Install different operating systems on separate partitions and choose which one to boot into. Portable OS Solutions: Use live boot systems from USB drives for different tasks. 4. Best Practices Use Strong Passwords: Ensure each account has a strong, unique password. Regular Backups: Regularly back up your data to prevent loss. Security Software: Keep your security software up to date to protect against threats. This setup should help you achieve the level of privacy and isolation you’re looking for. If you need more detailed instructions on any specific step, let me know!
