View Full Version : Private Folder in XP
How can I make a private folder in XP, I know I cannot do a password protected one but is there an alternative. I do not want to make up another user account.
Help please.
:confused
1 Open My Computer
2 Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive C : , unless you have more than one drive on your computer).
3 If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive.
4 Double-click the Documents and Settings folder.
4 Double-click your user folder.
5 Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then click Properties.
6 On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private so that only I have access to it check box.
Hi,
There is no option on the sharing tab to make the folder private, I think this is only in XP, which is what I am using?
Unless anyone can tell me otherwise???
the instructions i posted are for XP, no idea whats different with yours sorry?
You might want to look into Truecrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/) it would essentially allow you to password protect it also.

(http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/tutorial)Essentially what you'd do is create say a 500MB to 1GB file, mount that as an encrypted drive then copy the folder to there.
