Hey all, I've got a external Hard-drive with a few folders on it, but I'll be lending it to my mate so he can tansfer some stuff on to it for me, but needs to take it back home over the weekend. So I'm just wondering is there anyways you can put passwords on the folders so that he cannot access them, if so how?

Thank you.

i think if you set deny access to everyone and only allow on your user, then you cant take ownership even if using a local admin ona different PC

Jambo, you was alright until you got your French queer machine.

Nice colour though.

FYI no it's not porn.

there is a way you can make the folder invisible.

edit. but when you highlight over it a small rectangle appears which you can double click on to access the folder

only secure way of doing is to use something like truecrypt, otherwise password rar/zip/etc

EFS would probably do the job.

I used to have a program that would hide folders, and to un-hide them you enter a password. Can't remember what it's called tho.

That would set the folder attribute to +h (hidden). It'll show up in CMD if you type DIR or if 'show all hidden files and folders' option is enabled.

AxCrypt will do the job, http://www.axantum.com/AxCrypt/Default.html

EFS wouldn't hide it at all, it would just encrypt it so you couldn't access it.
