what OS are you using.
If you are using XP and you each log on as a different user and you are using NTFS you can lock all other users out
i think you can enable this option by going to control panel > user accounts and setting/changing you password
using xp. but im under fa32 i want to protect a folder even when im logged in. so when i click on it it askes even me for a password.
i want to keep ppl out.
then you will need to get software to do this
what kind of software? can u recomend a small program?
any free ones, o doubt i will find a crack 4 thses
I never tried that d/load even though I'm looking for something similar, it got a very low rating off the users :o Running xp on fat 32 leaves out some of the built in features, for example file encrytion and compressing data can only work while using ntfs or (dynamic disc). I converted from fat 32 after upgrading from windows 98, it can be done without reinstalling the os but a lot of things I hear say go for the clean format, PGP 8.03 which is already cracked and available on emule has a feature on there called pgp disc, here you can select an amount of your hard drive which will be encrypted and not show up on your pc until a password is entered, you could store sensitive data there but best off all would probably be saving the folder to a disc,I think nero even asks for a password these days although I could b wrong.
hope this helps :)
I highly reccomend Axcrypt. You can get it from http://axcrypt.sourceforge.net/
It works really well and is very easy to use. Good luck!
