| 99496 | 2002-11-18 22:05:00 | Hi :) Can anyone tell me if it is possible to place passwords on individual folders in Windows ME ? If so where can i find the option to turn this tool on? I have been mucking round for ages on and off looking for a way to do this and am starting to think its not an option in ME as it is designed as a home user system :| Katt |

| 99497 | 2002-11-18 22:15:00 | I know that using NTFS in Win2K You can prevent certain users from accessing folders altogether. That's with the NTFS Filesystem though. I've played around usinf File Protector and also Folder Guard and have found that Folder Gaurd was the better of the two (Even just using the evaluation version, If I had the moeny spare, Id buy it!) Look up FileProt at: www.mikkotech.com And Winability's Folder Gaurd from: www.winability.com Hope this helps, but I dont know of any other ways, and Im not sure if ME supports NTFS, but that's not really what you'd be looking for.

| 99498 | 2002-11-18 22:20:00 | Katt, The password feature you are looking for is in relation to using the Compressed Folders option under Windows ME and Win98/98SE with the Plus98 pack. If you enable this feature you MUST read the following regarding a patch for this feature Passwords for Compressed Folders (www.microsoft.com). The Compressed Folders feature is not installed by default; to install Compressed Folders: Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup Double-click System Tools, and select Compressed Folders Click OK To create a Compressed Folder in Windows Explorer, right click an empty space, choose New and select Compressed Folder. This will create a folder icon with a zipper on it. Cheers, Babe. |

| 99499 | 2002-11-19 03:10:00 | Hi.. For win98SE I use Winzip...Right click the folder or file, - add to zip - click on the password button - add the actual password (twice)...then click add (to compress). This creates a compressed folder, which requires your password to open... Cheers... |
