Hulk12 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Right click on the folder > click sharing > check the box next to "Make this folder private" Guesing your using XP... Also if you use a password on your windows acount folders are auto protected from other users on your comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 You can only hide the Windows folder, you cannot put a password for access on it. You can accomplish this with 3rd-party software, but the likely result would be that your operating system will no longer boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
