how can set password for one file folder in my PC?

Answer 1

i think you can do that only if you are the system manager and everyone else using the computer is a "guest" but what you can do is to go to the properties/advance of the folder and make that folder invisible or hidden. then the folder wont even appear. until you enable viewing of hidden files.

Answer 2

It's simple. Assuming ur file system is fat32 and u r using windows 98 second edition (i think it works in xp also). First go to the location using dos (either dos full mode or the ms-dos in windows start menu). Rename the folder using the ren command and rename it to ascii mode (with a secret code). U should not forget this code. No one else will can delete or open the folder.

Eg.: C:\ Games (this is the folder I've on my C drive)
I go to dos start-> programs -> ms-dos
dos window will open.
C:\ ren games Alt+158 (here we are renaming the games folder using the Alt key & a three digit number on the numpad (only numpad, it's important). U need to press the Alt key and the three digit code at a time. The code can be any three digit less than 255 (in my opinion) u can try Alt+164, Alt+176 etc.

Ur folder is renamed & locked too at the same time

Now u won't see the games folder it'll be written in some ascii code

Again to open the same go to dos and rename it using the ren command.

Eg: C\ ren Alt+158 games

Assuming that you are 1) using Windows XP, 2) are an administor account on the PC and 3) have the hard drive formatted with NTFT:
Go to where you can see the folder
Right-click on the folder
Go into "Sharing and Security"
Click on the Security tab
Add your ID to the upper window of the security box
Give your ID "Full Control" of the file
Remove all other IDs from the upper box
Only your ID will have the ability to access that folder

Answer 4

You can do it with the help of PC security. Its a software you can download free from internet. you can giv password to one folder and whole system. Also can lock and unloak by a single click with providing a password

Answer 5

A simple solution to this question is to zip the file using winzip which has a provision to set password.. but here the security is not ensured since anyone can delete the file whether or not he know the password..

Answer 6

you may get utility that does this. Folder Lock and Folder shelter are some examples. in case you do no longer want to get those courses, you ought to use WinZip or WinRAR, place the record in a zipper archive and then encrypt it with a password.

Answer 7

u first send the file to winzip then using the option there it is easy to set a password

Answer 8

Use software like RemoraUSB guard (it's free) to encrypt your folder/file

Answer 9
