How do I password protect a folder or hard disc partition in Windows XP?

[SpoDaddy]

Can anyone help me do this? I believe my new laptop's hard drive shipped partitioned (it lists as having a C drive and a D drive, both about 50 gigs, and the official hard drive size in the specs is 100 gb). I'd like to password protect one of the partitions or some folders.

Couldn't you just password the windows account instead?

[SpoDaddy]

Nope, it has to be the individual drive or folders

XP doesnt support password protection ony file level permissions:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307874

USe that to set permissions if you have multiple users on your box

or you could encrypt the file/folder http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d....mspx?mfr=true

or you could zip the contents up and password the zip file

or you could dl a 3rd party prog, take your pick, no telling how reliable they are

or you could wait for windows vista and use bitlocker on the drive

or www.google.com

or www.microsoft.com .....

It was for business pdf's on a shared computer jackasses, and the files I needed a video player for were Season 5 episodes of 24. I don't need porn, I have a good woman.
