If you go with any of the programs there read the doc's before you use it.
Personally, I keep a couple of jump drives because theres some things that i just do not want to be stored on my hard drive.
I thought they were preventing from creating new accounts on the computer. Instead of giving him a new account, they decided to let him use theirs, and put all the stuff in one folder. In that case, Viewing hidden files is off by default, he can turn it on and off on that account whenever he needs to use it or whenever he's done using it. Maybe I read it wrong?Quote:
good idea. but everybody should use same account or he must go acct per acct and disable "show hidden folders"
Ummm... wait.... Ok this may not be much help but I did it before and it works.... You can get a line of html (or javascript, I forgot) that promps the user for a pass, and you can put it in the folder html by going to the folder and right clicking the background, then to customize this folder, then go to change edit html tamplet, then edit the html..... I forgot the code though.... I'll look it up later if you cant find it.... sorry I cant be of more help.....
Oh and ps this isnt very secure, but if your parents know nothing about comps it will work....

quote from your site....(btw: no need to post 3 times)
read the bold.....Quote:
These scripts all deal with JavaScript Password Protection scripts. They are an elementary attempt to protect a site and should NOT be used to protect Top Secret information.
I said it wasnt secure... but it is a way to pass protect a folder.... and the more ways you know the better huh?
(oh and sorry about the 3 posts I just was rushing and forgot things....)
i looked at all your posts and found the easiest way to do it is just to compress and then encrypt the file with a password
Ok personally with only access to one folder I would find a suitble encryption progry that does not require installation.
A really good program for password protecting your folders is...folder lock, and filevault, i personally think that file vault is pretty good. folder lock is a trial you can only lock the folder 15 times...but file vualt is a freeware but it doesnt support win2000 or XP im not too sure if it supports win ME so yea give it a try...you can find it at www.download.com search them you can also find other nice folder locking software
