I have a windows 10 laptop
My sister wants to use it too so I set up a user account for her
How can I make it so she can't see any of my files at all including programs, etc and how can I keep that user profile from being in the homegroup?

Windows by standard only locks specific user folders like the one in Users with the desktop etc.
You will have to manually restrict access to the folders with the admin account, right click and properties--> Security. set Read and execute and read folder contents and write to "deny" for her. Make sure she doesn't get an admin account or she in theory could regain access via the same menu

Buy her a laptop of her own

What's the difference between HomeUsers and Users? I can't seem to keep them out of the programs folder either. Am I missing something?
this is yet another problem that windows xp does not have

Neither does any other Windows. OP is just being a div and assuming that because he's administrator and can see everyone's files, so everyone else can see his.

I go on their account to test and I can still access them

Then you fucked up and made her administrator or the same account as you. Good fucking job.
Different user accounts that aren't Administrator can't even enter the /users/<whatever>/ directory. What would be the fucking point of even having file permissions if the OS just let everyone read everyone's files?

I'm talking about the homegroup now not the users folder

Homegroup is for stuff you *do* want to share with everyone. It's readable by everyone by design, and anyone that came visiting with their own laptop could always have accessed it.
Putting your porn on it was probably a bad idea.
To get at your own documents on another computer, just open \\computername\c$\users\username\documents\ . If your username and password are the same on two windows computers, both computers will treat you as the same user, and you won't even be asked to log on.
