folder protection

[layne67]

Is there a way that I can password-protect individual folders on my hard-drive? I've tried right-clicking on it and a tab on 'Sharing and Security' came up, however they ask me to create a password for my user account whereas I only want to make only certain folders private. Is that possible? Anyone, please?

I hope someone can help you here. I've also tried to make individual folders protected but it didn't work. But then again, I am what I am when it comes to computer stuff. 0_0

I've tried figuring that out myself! I'd sometimes let the neighborhood kids use my comp for games when they'd dropped by, and I always worried that if I looked away for two seconds they'd find choice pictures in my fanart folder... :S
I'll read the other comment, see if they know, lol...!

I guess it cant be done because no one seems to know :-(

I dont even dare keep any nc-17 pics on my hard drive. They're all safely locked in my photobucket :-)

LOL... I don't mind with having 'em on my comp at all. The kids only used my comp about two times, and I was RIGHT there. I just would laugh/cringe to myself on 'Oh don't click that one button...' LOL...
