Hotmail is real easy to crack too, if that said person knows you well and you have a secret question set up they would know its easy to get into the account and read all your emails without you knowing
They're sort of right in that the information (username / psw) might come up via the "autocomplete" but hotmail is not that easy to crack directly, as if they are going via the secret question route it would cause a password change, so you'd know about it because you wouldn't be able to get to your account.
It's easy to fix - You'll need to set up a seperate user account for your "friend" and then set a password on both accounts (remember the username and passwords as you'll need them). You can then log out when you're not using the machine and all your stored passwords etc will be safe from your "friends" (although I'm using that term pretty loosely if they're spying on you).
To set up the Users, just go into the control panel, and there will be a section for users there and the rest should be relatively obvious. Once you have seperate users then all your settings (history, autocomplete, my documents etc) would only be accessible to you.
Just don't forget the password for your computer or you'll be locked out too!
