Password protect desktop new folders!

[jimster1982]

Good day' all!

Does anyone know how to password protect a specific folder on your desktop??

Like a folder you could of created yourself through the new folder etc! Basically so that when someone double clicks on it you/they would have to enter a specific password only known by myself!

Cheers

Would the NTFS security work for you? You can set any file or folder to only be accessable when logging on using your account.

This won't work if everyone logs onto the PC using the same account however.

Even the use of WinZip is a possibility having a password protection option.

None are a substitution for properly set up users on a NTFS drive however.
