Prevent Access to some Folders

[leachim]

Hi

I would like to prevent access to some folders on my HDD.

Can anyone point to a password protection scheme

Thanks

In VISTA , you can't use a password to protect files and folders in . However, some programs that run on Windows do allow you to protect individual files by using a password. For more information, check the Help for the program you are using.

There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can encrypt your files, manually specify who can access the folders or files, or hide them. Choose your method based on how secure the folders or files need to be. Encrypting is the most secure, while hiding the folders is the least secure.

There are programs out there that will password a folder.
