214706 2004-02-11 10:01:00 fat32 is your file system
fat32 im sorry to say is not that great at file system security, what you are asking I believe is not possible under fat32. How ever watch this space, there may be some other advice on how to acheive what you are asking

214708 2004-02-11 11:46:00 Here's some more Lockdown utilities (fileforum.betanews.com) and some Encyption Utilities (fileforum.betanews.com). you'll need to sift through the keyloggers and antispyware stuff. If you don't want to pay look for the freware ones.

214709 2004-02-11 20:18:00 Is there any reason why you have to use fat32? If not then you could convert it to NTFS and apply some permissions to your folders.

eg
convert c: /FS:ntfs
BIFF (1)
214710 2004-02-12 04:23:00 well i have no reason not to convert to NTFS ,,,but i'm rarther not comfortable in doing it ...coz i dunno what sort if consequences might arise .... but this folder used to be invisible earlier ...but its not now ...how come !

214711 2004-02-12 04:56:00 Converting to ntfs can be straight forward. But in saying that its not the most efficient method of having a NTFS volume. Creating one from on a new install is.
See- mcpmag.com -for details

214712 2004-02-12 05:07:00 well reading that ..i made up my mind ...not to convert to NTFS coz there are many problems which will be coming after i do so ...anyways ...

thnx !!!

214713 2004-02-12 05:31:00 You could always just set the attribute for that folder as hidden, then make it so you can see hidden files in your folder options and disable it in hers. rsnic (3780)
