My mom wants to snoop through my stuff on my computer; what do I do?

Change your account name to "Guest" and make a new account with your name.

^ this
genius

I bet you if she looked on it and the desktop was clean the first thing she'd ask is "So what do you usually do on this?"

You could just simply reply with "Oh browse the internet and use it for schoolwork sometimes, the usual :D"

This will work. Personally my mom gets single and double clicking confused so I got nothing to worry about.

Second post, just name it guest an hide it then do the new account thing, then just toggle it back on, turn on and off as required. Because you never know, she might ask to see the guest account and what happens then?

this, just make an account called default or something and lock it with a password. better yet, only use the loving guest account, keep that stuff permanent.

Updated the post I made.

basically, either do the guest thing, or make a folder, put everything you don't want your mom seeing in there, and make it invisible.

the guest account isn't an administrator account

I'll do that but I have to get off for the night.

No not that "Get off."
I'll do the guest thing in the morning, but I'm leaving this unlocked in case there's any other good ideas. Thanks guys.

'night.

heha OP deleted everything before getting the incredibly creative idea by Bravo.

asdf, you change your account to have it named "guest" and then have a secondary account with your real name, that way you can basically do whatever you want.

Strict parents never produce good kids. Neither do extremely loose ones.

Burn your hard drive and dispose of all the evidence.

Your mother is a paranoid cunt.  I suggest you state your opposition to her lack of tolerance towards the exposure of foreign knowledge.

Other than that, continue to disobey her behind her back.  It's the fact that you're promoting harmless activities that makes it justifiable.

Go to best buy and buy a external hard drive and move all files there.

Look at me, I was 15 when I was first caught in the act by an officer because of my lenient parents.
I regret my past actions and now I'm working on making myself better.

OP, tell her no and if she slaps you call 911 and say "OMG CHILD ABUSE"

you are responsible for your own actions
