Password folder / software
In ,
Cap had this to say: My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: Can anyone recommend a software that I can use with windows XP that will allow me to password protect folders? A program called "Folder Lock" has some decent reviews. It is $35 dollars and located he http://newsoftwares.net/folderlock/ I've never used it but I've read good things about it and there is a trial. Is there any reason why you don't use the bits and pieces of the embedded security to either enable or disable access to your private content? You can always crunch them: Crunch: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Crunch/crunch.html Either way, best of luck. -- Galen - MS MVP - Windows (Shell/User & IE) http://dts-l.org/ http://kgiii.info/ "At present I am, as you know, fairly busy, but I propose to devote my declining years to the composition of a textbook which shall focus the whole art of detection into one volume." - Sherlock Holmes |

Password folder / software
Ahhh .... thank you very much!!!!
I have hid/unhid and stopped sharing certain folders. That's about as much as I know how to do. My entire family shares the same login id and passswd as i dont really care to create different profiles. I'd much rather take certain folders and protect them.

If that's the case the crunching them should do the trick. Using the same PC with other people can be a bit of a pain but you should all really consider creating your own accounts. Other than that, if that's still not an option, then I guess using encryption should be your chosen method. -- Galen - MS MVP - Windows (Shell/User & IE) http://dts-l.org/ http://kgiii.info/ "At present I am, as you know, fairly busy, but I propose to devote my declining years to the composition of a textbook which shall focus the whole art of detection into one volume." - Sherlock Holmes |
