Which version of Vista? Ultimate, business? premimum?

controlling user accounts is easy with premium but not much power where business and ultimate let you do things that XP pro or windows server allow you to do. to get started you can always goto control panel and look for user accounts and when you create a password for your account, also click the keep private folders enabled...

you have x64 so maybe you do have Business?
Regardless the control panel/user accounts does work in all flavors of vista. For now get a password on there. and disabled the guest account.
