8639 2001-02-12 07:52:00 My kids are now old / savvy enough to check on eveything I do on PC by using the 'Find Files' function of Startup. This means that I must now save all personal information (diary, financial items, stuff about them) to disc - which is irritating. Is there any way to disable this Fnx or clear it's memory? Guest (0)
8640 2001-02-12 11:05:00 Your kids will always find a way to find a file. I can think of about 10 ways as we 'speak'.
Best solution is encrypting a folder and keeping all personal stuff in that folder. Search on NET for this type of software. I don't reccommend encrypting individual files as there are too many p/w to remember or too many files to change if the kids learn your password.
Another option is an encryption hardware lock. Again don't recommend - if damaged bye bye files. On that note whatever you do MAKE regular unencrypted files to floppy disk. A real cheap and nasty way is a password protected zip file (WINZIP or whatever) of all your files. Cheers. NRN (no reply necessary)

TweakUi has an option to remove entries from the Find files list automatically.

You can also download TweakUI from www.microsoft.com/downloads
