Hide Folder

[TimTDP]

With Windows XP, how can I hide a folder?
how do I then access that folder?
I currently do not use a user password

If I can't hide it, can I password protect a folder?

If you don't use a password, I guess there's only onw user so everything you can hide, everyone would be able to unhide.

Anyway:

To hide: Properties > Hidden
To show: Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folder.

To have better control, if multiple users are using the machine, you should have multiple user accounts. Then who can see what is controlled by the account credentials.
