Password protecting certain folders
 

Hey is there any way I can do this?

There are some family members that are going to spend some time over my house and are gonna probably use my computer. Is there a way to PW protect shit, or even give them their own Windows login name and restrict access to certain folders?

Yes, it's possible if you use XP home edition. Probably just give a username which has no adminstrative rights, and hide all your documents in the "my documents" folder. It should be nicely kept. And for passwords... all i can recommend is that you zip the files together and encyrpt them with a password.

YOu can do a search on www.downloads.com for password protecting your folders.

Yeah, if you have XP Home edition just make a username for these people that has no power, and put a password on your username.

<font color=969696>You could just make a hidden folder and make all the files hidden. Also, put the folder in some obscure location.</font>

Yeah, I already have been doing that, but just in case they are handy with finding hidden files. :rant:

Why don't you just say "No, you can't use my computer" if you are that afraid of people finding your porn.
