Don't want to use Family Share. I can give her keys with trading cards, and she can give me back the cards. Win-win :)

I used to use sandbox for that purpose. Worked like a charm. Cant remeber other method
You can stop the process "explorer.exe" and leave the sandbox with the account opened.
//after that you can turn it on again from the task manager> new task>explorer.exe

Don't see any reason why there would be any problems. My cousin logs on with his account on my laptop all the time.
If you mean using the same account on 2 windows-logins, that should work fine too. However, Steam won't allow opening multiple games at once on different pc's (which would be similar to this) so you'd probably have to close games when switching windows-accounts.

So being that you want to hide your porn, put those folders into your documents. Then, make a second windows account. If the second account isn't an administrator, it can't look at your documents folders. She logs into that one, and uses it to launch/play steam. Steam uses her settings, her saves, and her games that way. None of your data is touched (besides shared data, such as game files (not saves) and other installed programs in public drive places.

That's what I wanted to know. Sounds good. I'll set her up an account on her own Windows log-in.

This, or rename the pr0n dir to football or relativity_theory, for complete pride mode

Axcrypt is pretty good at encrypting things.
I personally trust it for non-pornographic material more than password protected hidden folders. Short of open names of XXX-random-fetish, no one will know what you're into even if they do find it. Just that you've got 500gb of encrypted files on your external hard drive... Right?

Not pr0n. Other dirty secrets. She's okay with that.

Thanks. This is the kind of feedback I was looking for.

You shouldn't forsee any problems at all.. Steam will see which games are installed (which is shared so no need to double install) but both accounts will have their own gamelist. You only need to login to whichever account once you start Steam..

I have a live-in concubine who I don't want to find the deep dark secrets I hide on my PC. She also wants to be be able to play games when I'm not around.
Is it easy to use Steam from 2 separate Windows log-ins, or will there be issues that might confuse the computer? Appreciate any valid inputs.
And here is what you're looking for!!
Edit: 2 different Steam accounts from 2 different Windows accounts on the same PC: anybody have any problems with this?
