hide/protect a folder
Simple way is to right click on the folder and make it hidden. You will
then need to switch your explorer folder options to either show or hide hidden files and folders. Windows Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-Hidden files and folders. There are several pay programs that will hide/encrypt and password protect folders. But if your kids are young enough this might do the trick. Steve "Pat" wrote in message ...

WinZip (www.winzip.com) has encryption. You zip the files and people can see the file names but can't open them without the password. Version 8.1 has encryption, and the beta version 9.0 has better encryption. There are also many other encryption programs out there. -Breeze |
