| 269907 | 2004-09-06 12:40:00 | Dear friends. I have built in another disk drive. I like the privacy in the my documents folder, preventing the many users on my computer from spying in. Now I transfer my files to this newly installed drive that is a slave to the other drive. How can I prevent them from reading everything in my folders on the new drives. can I password protect those directories on the drive? How? Or even better: can I make those directories accessible only to my password? thanks Johan |

| 269908 | 2004-09-06 12:55:00 | What OS, what file system, eg: FAT32, NTFS, EXT3? You can change the folder that My Documents points to or the location of the folder itself but will need to know the above info. Cheers Murray P |

| 269909 | 2004-09-06 23:00:00 | thanks Murray, making the folder that My Documenmts points to sounds like the optimal solution, but can't figure it out. I use XP professional (incl the SP2 update) and the file system is NFTS. Thanks for your help Johan |
