I'm looking for a program or something so I can put passwords on specific folders and stuff. Anyone know where I can find something like that?

Zip your folders and put a password on those zip files.

This didn't work for me

Isn't there any other way? I have two HDs. Windows is installed on one of them. On this HD there's no problem because I have my own user account so I only have to make a folder private. But the other HD is the problem...

Set up some user logins, and just make certain folders available to certain people. [addsig]

If they don't need to be that well protected, just make them hidden folders. [addsig]

ZIP passwords are supposedly easy to circumvent. Anyway, if you're using Windows XP I believe that you can set it up so that different users have access to different folders, so do it that way.

Use Linux and set folder permissions to deny access to anyone who is not you.

Just make a text file that isn't named something like >>>PASSWORDS HERE!!<<< and put it somewhere not readily obvious but still easily accessed.

At least, that's what I do... but noone other than me uses this computer anyways.

and boo to you, Linux-monkey!

My apologies; then you've obviously found something Lunix can do that Windows can't.

But I have 2 different HDs. I don't think that's possible on the HD without Windows on it... if it is, plz tell me how to do it!
