J.R.--
I probably do not understand your situation correctly, but how about
creating a "guest" account?  I BELIEVE that it is possible to set up
two or more accounts (I just do not know how it is done.).  That way,
your "guest" can use your computer and you can rest easy that s/he
cannot snoop around your files.
