    Hi pc -*0*,

    If you don't encrypt folders and don't hide them, why do you need a password? For password-protected access to these folders? Won't work, at least under Windows. Get a good drive or file encryption program, such as BestCrypt, PGPDisk, or DigiSecret, and be safe.

    U CAN HIDE IT THOUGH

    HI,

    oN WIN *5 AND *8 U CAN HIDE UR FOLDERS.
    THIS is how i used to do it.

    i make a folder in dos

    eer let me try an eg:

    c:/>md folder(press alt+255)
    well when u make that after typing
    md folder type the next chareter as alt+255 (a blank charecter)
    alt and 255 pressed together.
    put all ur files in it.
    U cann use any number of alt+255 in succesion with the folder name.
    now if u type in dos
    c:>cd folder
    it will say bad command or file name

    u should give an alt+255 after folder
    coz when u made that folder u gave
    Md folder(pressed alt+255)
    SO TO OPEN folder type
    c:/>cd folder(press alt+255)

    ok,now if u try to open this folder in windows-it will say" This folder does not exist".this folder cannot be deleted or moved to recycle bin.
    now to access this folder under windows u will have to go to dos
    and
    c:/>ren folder(alt+255) some_other_name

    and if more u can hide ur folder by rite clicking on folder go to properties
    and click on hide.
    i hope i am clear to u,if not dont hesitate to ask and i hope this will help ya.

    why a password????

    IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT WOULD BE THE EASIEST AND FASTEST WAY TO ACCESS MY FOLDERS...... instead of encrypting and decrypting or hiding and showing ... etc...

    thanx anyway..........
