Facebook's social network allows the online community to share updates, photos and other details of their personal lives. With this potential exposure, many users want a means to keep their information private. Because of this demand, Facebook has created extensive privacy settings, which can keep certain elements of a user's profile hidden from particular groups of friends, people who aren't connected or even specific individuals. You can set up your profile so that the entire page is incapable of being clicked or accessed by anyone who is not your friend.
- Log into your Facebook account. Click "Account" and select "Privacy Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- Click the "Customize settings" link beneath the grid that displays your current settings.
- Scroll through the various profile elements and change any fields that read "Everyone" to "Friends Only." You will also need to click all of the "Edit Settings" buttons and adjust the settings in these menus to "Friends Only" access.
- Click "Back to Privacy" and click the "View Settings" link under the "Connecting on Facebook" heading. This menu adjusts how people are able to find you on the site.
- Click each of the buttons listed and select "Friends Only." After saving these changes, any of your comments on public articles, groups or other items on Facebook will still appear, but no one will be able to click your name. In effect, this also means that you will not receive any new friend requests.
