Password protect

[Leeshez]

How do you protect a folder on the pc with a password?

Theres a program called magic folders , the folder is invisible unless you know its there and the password .

Don't know if you can password protect a folder though .

Zip the folder and lock it with a password using winzip/ winrar. You then have to delete the original and empty the waste bin... quite a bit of hassle.

I just hide sub folders in the windows directory or in an obscure program folder then change the icon to a program one instead of a folder one if I really dont want anybody to find certain things on my PC. Has worked so far.

Encryption is where it's at, you can crack passwords, just get some space on your hard drive and encrypt it instead. A good one for free is TrueCrypt.

Right click and click properties..

selected as hidden, then ok..

to find it, its hidden... no visable.

Clear My documents history, then no way of tracking it.

No way of tracking it, just search for all the usual file extensions and make sure hidden folders are included in the search.
