Snooping is not a crime, although it is frowned upon. There are exceptions to this though.

1. The file is in a lock box or other file protecting bin

2. The file is classified, or disclosed by the government.

3. You sign a contract stating specifically that you will not view anything other than what you sign for.

4. It is legally protected and, if, or patented with viewing rights reserved.

My guess is that you were just asking if snooping on something personal and not in anyway. i.e an online diary. No that is not illegal, but is not recommended if you ever want to get permission to use the computer again.
