How Can I Password Protect...

[BiG_aL]

Hey,
I have 2 harddrives. I found a little 3 GB harddrive laying around and figured I could put stuff on it I didn't want people touching. People can't get into my computer unless I forget to lock it which does happen.

So my question is how can I put a password over one of my hardrives?

Thanks,

easiest way is to password you screen saver, that way if you forget to lock b4 you leave it does it by its self,


or if you are on xp or 2000, i think you can lock folders but im not sure , try the help files to see how its done

I'm sure there is some way to do it in regular settings, but you can also download something like THIS (http://www.password-protect-software.com/) (just an example, there are a lot more out there)

but then wouldn't you have to have multiple accounts on your computer and log out each time?
