All you need to do is restrict his / her account and put a password on yours.

and if that doesn't work, try removing Everyone entry in your folder's Security tab.

To access the Security tab of a folder or drive, disable Simple File Sharing (Professional) or boot to Safe Mode (Home Edition and Professional)

Please explain in detail how to restrict. How to restrict display C:\Documents and Settings in file explorer so that no one can see each user in file explorer.

How many machines? Standalone or networked?

If you're running these/this computer(s) in a network utilizing AD I would create a group with all the users you dont want accessing that folder and setup special permissions for documents & settings. If only on a few machines... just deny the particular users access in the security tab.
