I was curious if there was a way with Windows XP to have a folder that is password restricted? If so how do I go about set that up?I've looked around and couldn't find anything. For some reason I was thinking with some of the older versions of windows they had this option (Actually remember an ex boyfriend had his porn in a restricted folder so his parents could see them LOL).Thanks in advance!

Password restricted folder?
-
If you use WinRar you can create an password protected archive. Its not exactly the same as a normal folder cause a lot of programs won't be able to see inside it, but its good for storing files and it saves space.

http://www.fspro.net/hide-folders-xp/This hides them as well- if you want

Thanks I'll look into those options.I could have sworn there was a way through Windows that you could have password protected folders hmm...
-
hmmm....I don't think there's any way you can password protect a folder in xp...not that i remember anyway. i know you can encrypt them, but I'm not really sure how that works. you could put the folder on a flash drive if you have one i guess
-
Yes there is a way of password protecting a folder, its in the link I posted.
-
oh. alright then. my bad
-
You simply don't know anything about it, because it's not actually encrypted. A simple mount from your linux OS can read any "protected" folder without any need for passwords :P
-
Thanks Bob, that link is just what I was looking for :grin:
-
Hmmm, all this password talk has me curious as to what you're hiding there, ha ha.

Probably something to do with an evil dentist's plot to take over the world.
