Re: [XP] password for folders
I read the other day, in PC Magazine as I recall, a way to do this in at least XP Pro using compression. (I was trying to either limit access or password protect directories to keep even admin accounts out of a certain set of directories.) I don't have the article in front of me right now, but from memory you right click on the directory you want to password protect and choose to compress it and from there assign it a password. I don't remember the reason, but they also stated you would need to do the same thing with any subdirectories one level below this main directory to protect the first directory and all files and subdirectories below it.
If you need any clarification let me know and I'll locate the article. |
