Other people access my PC using the same windows account.

Is it possible I can password protect some of my folders.

If I right-click on a folders and choose Properties > Sharing , the checkbox for 'Make this folder private' is grayed out.

So any idea how to make a folder password protected?

regards

Rename your folders: "MANGAY PORN".

No one will look at them that way.

Well if you're using xp home, press f8 at startup to boot up to safe mode and then log into your account. Find the folder you want to block, and right click to gain access to the sharing tab; if you are the owner you and can deny access to specific users by adding their name.

>For xp pro turn off simple sharing

Hang on guys! Who said I have porn?
I may want to protect other secret data, such as UFO sightings :)
