Exclamation user acounts

[Judge Dread]I am running Windows Media Center Edition version 5.1 - sp2
Windows Media Center Edition firewall - McAfee Security Center
When I got it, it had the administrator account on it, I added a password to the account and
it gave me the option to make my files private, i took that, no problems there,
I have since then created a new account for my brother as he uses it more then me now,
his account has administrator access, i created a new administrator account for myself, i then deleted my old account,
logged into my new administrator account, created a password for it and then found that the option for make my files was private gone,
not even there to click, can anyone help me on this,
i have searched the net on how to recover this option and make my files private on my administrator account but cant figure this out at all.
i am completely at my wits end. someone please help, many thanks.

dont give your brother administrator access or else he can see your files by removing your password anyway.

make him a user. or a power user. power user would probably be better so he can install stuff.
