The file will work normally in the computer without the need to enter a password. It just cannot be copied to another folder or other media. Many thanks.

I run a lan games centre where certain programs and information such as original cd keys are kept inside the compuer to keep the games running. I do not want to encrpyt or password protect this information as this will stop the games from running. I just want to prevent customers from copying or viewing these programs or files. Many thanks.

1) have your own account
2) have separate accounts for someone else who uses the computer
3) put all those files you want to protect into your account's MY DOCUMENTS folders..anywhere inside that folder will do..
4) Go to My Computer-->C drive-->My Documents and Settings-->Right click on your USERNAME--> choose Properties
5) Go to Sharing tab
6) Make this folder private.
7)close the properties windows
7) double click on your username.. do you see all the folders there??
No other accounts can access those folders unless they can login to your account.
Cheers

stable precis. yet you ignored an significant element. once you commence the reproduction from computing device A, it incredibly is the source and it incredibly is the trip spot? same for once you commence from computing device B? ***EDIT: So once you're on the keyboard of computing device A (the speedier of the two desktops) and tell the computing device to deliver the record to computing device B, it takes approximately 20 minutes? And once you're at computing device B and tell it to convey the record from computing device A, it takes 3 minutes? is this top? Are the two desktops working a similar working device? My first wager may well be that computing device A is working some version of Vista and computing device B is working some version of XP. if it is the case, then i will in basic terms say that I actual have seen this exact same ingredient many circumstances and can't clarify it. If that isn't the case, then might you tell me what OS is on each and each. via the different responses right here, it would be assumed that computing device A might make the speedier pass by way of fact it has a speedier CPU and extra RAM - yet as you will locate via the data that isn't the case.

Go to folder options and change properties
of concerned folders to hidden.
You can hide the main folder and sub folders as per your choice.
When you want to access change the option to show all files.

Remove all rights to do so via Adminstative rights...so any other account cannot copy it, or move it...
Do some research...I don't feel like typing out all the instructions...
