Re: How can I make a password for folders?

Thanks Malke. I know there is no password feature in WinXP. I was asking
is there a safe and free third-party software can be used to password
folders or partitions? There is a trial software called "Folder Lock", but
it's just a trial, and I don't know if it's safe or not, I'm afraid it may
harm my PC or harm the locked folders. Thanks for help

Don't know since I don't use third-party software that does folder
passwording. I use permissions instead on my operating systems. I have seen
quite a few posts in the MS public newsgroups from people who had issues
with Folder Lock. I have no idea if this means Folder Lock is iffy or the
people using it didn't know what they are doing.

Suggest you look at some of the reputable download sites that have user
reviews and try out some of the programs that look like they'll do what you
want. Make a System Restore point before you try out new software and have
all your files backed up on removable media as a precaution. Then you can
report back here!

Good luck,

Malke
