By one user, do you mean everyone is using the administrator account? If you're the owner of the PC, you (and only you) should use that account and even then, not for everyday use. Create non-admin accounts for day-to-day use and the files in "My Documents" for each account can be private. I believe the administrator account has access to all files.
