Abstract
A computer program, installed on a computer, allows a user of that computer to be assigned a personal local data partition and the data to be retained in the partition. When a second user logs on, that user is assigned a different personal data partition. When the computer boots after logon by the second user, the operating system does not see the first users partition and will assign the same drive letter to the second user's partition. The process repeats for any number of users. Therefore, at each boot of the system, the operating system will not see the personal data partitions for any other user than the user who just logged on with his or her individual identification.
