Fluffy Bunny said:thats great......is there away of keeping the locked folder visible though after it has been locked?
Other than that it is great
Trigger said:Erm, why would you use a freeware program when all the folder security you need is in windows itself with NTFS permissions
mparter said:Would the Encrypting File System (EFS)not be good here? Other people would be able to see the contents of the folder but they wouldn't be able to view the contents of any of the files.
Sic said:i think the OP is trying to hide the folder on his own user area, not across a network. so if someone goes looking through his computer, they won't find his "sensitive" files.
can you password protect in that nature with windows too? if so, i need to know how to do that.
Trigger said:You don't need to be on a network to use NTFS file permissons. With simple file sharing turned off, they will work just fine locally assuming that they don't all use one account

Anyway, I've used folderlock and it does the job - the wife can't find anything.
