Hi, i was wondering if there is a way to hide to lock my private folders in my comp so my brothers and others that uses this comp cant have access to them or see them
i have created a limited account for others and am the only admin but i cant seem to be able to hide drives(external and internal) and folders from those accounts..

is there a way to do this with windows programs or do i need softwares to do this, if it is the latter plz recommend them if you know about them

Thanks!!
 
Which file system do you use of your comp,NTFSorFAT32

First ,sorry for my English .because i'm a chinese....
If you use NTFS file system, It's easy to lock your own folder.and you may put all the files and folders in one Folder(any where in your comp)..
Using NTFS file's access right to anti-reading access right.

Here are a couple of freebies. Microsoft pulled their freebie after a short time but i found another link for it.

TrueCrypt - http://www.truecrypt.org/

Microsoft Private Folder - http://files.filefront.com/Microsoft_Private_Folder_10/;5257722;;/fileinfo.html

i have tried many of these programs but its not what i want, i don’t want a specific private folder or to totally hide or encrypt a folder for all accounts.. i just want some folders to show in my main account and be hidden in others! simple thing but seems its not so simple to implement
 
Put them in your My documents folder. They Might be able to see the folder, but if they're limited they can't get to them. They may not even be able to get into your folder in documents and settings.

Fixed, apparantly some of the programs i downloaded (i think the microsoft one u linked me with) gave me more options in the property area to lock forlders to certain accounts!


now that this is fixed, anyone know how to set different interent security (parental control) for different account users with firefox :P
