Law doesn't say anything about deleting files without viewing them though!

Every company I've worked for, we had to go log out of our own user name and log into Admin. That's not the norm for people who aren't in I.T. and have administrative rights?

And thanks, because you can tell I'm not in I.T.

Any account can have administrator rights, not just the admin account.

You'll find that most upper tier IT staff and managers will have domain admin rights in many companies. I've had admin rights for every company I've worked for, and yes I could walk over to your computer, log in as myself and access your local files.

I could also do it remotely (from my own computer) to another computer over the network using my own credentials.

Thanks for your patience and my apologies for debating this - as my experience has limited me, I see. It's been educational.

I still think it's irrational to assume the manager is up to something nefarious, particularly when the op has already made some serious claims about him scamming the company, which would have resulted in termination, I would think.

In other words, my feeling is the op is the problem, not the manager.
