Can another family member on your home network access history and documents on your computer?

In: Computer Networking

[Edit]

Answer

That depends on the configuration of your home network and the security settings on the computer in question. The short answer is probably yes. If it is a Windows machine, it likely comes with all of it's drives shared (at least as hidden shares if not obviously) and therefore other people can access your files. As a matter of fact XP Home by defualt shares your documents out.
