I need to totally lock a Windows Directory while our C# application is running.

It needs to be completely locked out to Explorer browsing and Read/Write by other applications.

Does anyone know how to do this (If it is even possible) ?

I don't mind using Windows API's if I have to, but obviously would prefer Managed code.

Thanks in advance... [smile]

 
You might want to consider writing everything to an encrypted zip file. This way the file can be seen but nothing inside it.
