Hi,

Can anyone tell me how you lock or Password protect a folder?
Im using XP and have some stuff that I don't want a person (who will be using my log-on) to see.

Cheers.


p.s. Sorry if this is in wrong World???

if you have xp pro, just use permissions to give 'deny' permissions to all other users.

be careful not to lock yourself out of the folder too.

Only way i know of is to password protect a rar file. You can drag and drop files into it as you would with explorer but your porn will take a while to extract when you wish to get your 'jollies'.

There is an app which allows you to lock folders, can't remember the name - something to do with safe folder or summit.

why not just give him his own log on and restrict access to his logon, would solve all your problems
