It depends on. If they are my good friends or family, that's no problem. Otherwise I will mind it a little. Especially someone who downloads something without your permission. And it makes your computer in a mess and I really annoy to it. I love China

Now, I don't problem with the computer since all of us, me, my older brother and sister have our own computer. So, we don't need to use other computer unless one of the computer has been damaged/broken.

No, I'm always worried they'll mess something up. I don't mind my son being on it. I know he only looks at things on ebay and watches youtube videos, but when he lets his dad in the house when I'm not home, and he gets on the computer, that irritates me. He opens up all kinds of things, turns on the external, listens to music, has MS Word open, and lots of things on the internet and he gets all mad that things don't work fast enough...Ewwww!

i too do not like someone else use my computer. i do care about care much about desktop setting and viruses. i can fix my computer no matter what happens. But still i do like someone else use or even touch my computer. when others use your computer they use it carelessly and i do like that attitude. My computer is everything to me but others use it like its nothing. i really hate that moment when some use my computer.

the only other person using my computer is my son and I trust'him explicitly so no problem for me, he leaves it in better shape than it was before as he is a computer programmer professionally. he is my goto guy for whenever it needs repairing. no I haveno problems with his usage at all. I have no secrets either.

You are right.I feel very uncomfortable when someone else ask me to use it,it's not that i don't like them.It's just..cannot explain it.

I love my computer and perhaps I'm a little bit over protective of it. So I get uneasy in letting other people use it. Not uneasy enough to actually stop me from sharing with friends or family members but it still annoys me slightly, especially if they do something which I need to fix.

I dont like anyone using my computer no,but that becuse its moulded to me,the way that you use the keyboard is your way and if someone else comes along and taps away for a while then the keys seem to move very differently,but if needs must and theres no other option then yes they would have to.

Hello dear knight rider. Usually I prefer my computer to be used by me alone. I think that my computer is just like my personal diary as I keep my document in it. I think that it is better for one to use his own computer for the sake of his privacy and convenience. Thanks.

Hi friend, I will allow others to use my computer if my work is over.I will not give it others if i have very urgent work.Ofcourse rarely i give my computer to others because everyday a lot of work is there to do with my computer.I will not get angry but i will irritate others if they dont give me the system whenever i am in need of it. Have a nice day.

Yeah, I do not like anyone using my PC. I sit like a hawk watching my husband when he gets on at home. I do not know what it is.

hi, knightrider, i also do not like others to use my computer. in my computer there are many information or pictures that i like the best. also i write my feelings in the computer. so i do not want others to know something i made by myself.

I never let anybody else use my computer because as soon they start using it they start playing with my desktop or surf on some internet sites and they collect viruses. Last time i let my cousin use my computer he ruined whole system and i had to pay $127,50 to repair it. When someone really needs to use my computer for important things (like checking business things) i let them but i stand behind them whole time. I usually have lots of private things on my computer so I'm always afraid that they are going to read it.
