Security Question

wrote: Is there a way that I can password protect a folder, so in order to open it, you have to know the password? Like Win2K, WinXP doesn't rely on, or allow, password protection for individual applications, files, or folders. Instead, it uses file/folder permissions to individual users and/or groups. Just to check: If a folder's permissions are set (for groups and users), do all new files created or moved to the folder inherit these? As a crude work-around, if you actually prefer Win9x's way, you can place the file in a compressed folder, and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its contents. Win9x doesn't natively support per-folder passwording either - it applies this only at the level of network shares, which means that anyone at the local system has full access. --------------- ---- --- -- - - - - I'm baaaack! --------------- ---- --- -- - - - - |
