Need to hide files

Boccemon · Jun 30, 2004

I would like to be able to develop a folder to put files into, and then hide the folder. Five different people use my puter from time to time and I need to keep some sensitive material on hard disc, but don't want prying eyes reading it.
Is there a program for this? Or is there a way to do this in WinME?
TIA BocceMon

Thanks Lugztaz, I'll give that a shot. I appreciate your response.

There is this little app that can lock folders so no user can get access unless you have password.... maybe a little safer than using hide folders as any user can change the view settings ( not that everyone actually would think of that at first IF they were inclined to search for your stuff ) , the freeware version will only lock upto 4 folders but I guess as you maybe only want 1 it will do.

I would advise when using any lock or encryption methods ... still keep a backup on cd or your data ( locked/hidden way if possible ) as we all know murphys law!
