| 563792 | 2007-06-27 23:25:00 | I am wondering if anyone knew of any programs that enable to to assign a password to a hard drive so that access can be restricted to it. The hard drive in question is the second one which is used for archives. regards, Shomenno |

| 563794 | 2007-06-27 23:47:00 | Thanks for the reply. Is there any program that simply denies access to the hard drive and does not involve encryption? Shomenno |

| 563798 | 2007-06-28 06:18:00 | Folder Lock works well | theflyingsurfer (12111) | ||
| 563799 | 2007-06-28 06:50:00 | TrueCrypt wont do the boot partition though, for that you'll need DriveCrypt or StarCrypt However, my vote goes to TrueCrypt too, put your My Docs folder or whatever in it.. works a treat :) |

Control Panel, Properties of the Disk, Users ?? I'd like to have a play if I could figure out where to go (be polite Ha Ha) Cheers HH |

I'd like to have a play if I could figure out where to go (be polite Ha Ha) Cheers HH No right mouse on whatever folder you created / properties / security tab. You have to clear Simple file sharing (tools / folder options / view tab, after u run My computer). For the security tab to appear. Only thing is, if you're on a network and u untick simple file sharing, you'll have to add yourself to the other PC (and vice versa). And I would say if you have no other users on the PC, there's no point in going here. |
