I have private data in a folder. how to secure it by password? i mean no one can open it without password.?

Hey it does not matter how secure it is people can still get around the password and look at all those passwords I would not save passwords on to a pc I memorize all of mine and if I had to store them I would buy a safe and write them down and put them in there thats the safest way.

you can use zip compressor to set a password for you're folder or even use "Folder lock" software. The solution above is capable only hide you're folder and may not be able to unhide it. It is so obvious to make out from the code.

Use Folder Lock software to lock your any folder with password. Want to download folder lock Google it ;0

You can try a simple Batch file trick which works on most of the people and super hides the files thereby preventing deletion. Moreover complicate the folder name before hiding so it makes for self protection as the script first asks for the name of the folder to be hidden and then the password to hide it or unhide it. Paste the following in a notepad and save as password.bat cls @echo OFF title Super Hidden Folders Creator - Selva Kumar echo Name of the folder set/p "fol=>" if EXIST %fol% goto SELECT if notEXIST %fol% GOTO notfound :notfound ECHO File Not FOund goto End :SELECT echo Hide/Unhide [h/u] set/p "com=>" if %com%==h goto HIDE if %com%==u goto UNHIDE :HIDE attrib %fol% +s +h goto End :UNHIDE echo Enter password to Unlock folder set/p "pass=>" if NOT %pass%==YOURPASSWORD goto FAIL attrib %fol% -s -h goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password delay 2000 goto End :End

Use the software folder lock.... with this u can specify which folder u want to lock or can lock entire drives.... its really awesome software ..................... I think thats what u r looking for.......... :)

In windows you can do following, Create your logical disk as NTFS file system Right click on the folder and click properties Click sharing and security Goto security tab and give only your user account for access This makes sure that only your user account will have access to that folder

Use WinRAR to .zip it up with password protection, and then place the .rar into a hidden folder :] Make sure to delete the original folder!
