If the files were not encrypted, all you need to do is take ownership of them.  Read up about how to take ownership of files using windows xp, especially in cases such as yours.  There are plenty of tutorials.  Once you take ownership of it, you can access it perfectly fine.

hello,\nyou dont need a program, just select which directory you want to make "password protected" .. your host should give this option. If not I would suggest a different host like yahoo hosting which has this option.

No, you cannot restrict access to the Shared Documents folder and you cannot restrict access to a hard drive either. You can encrypt the files in the Shared Documents folder and on the hard drive which would require a password to be entered to access the encrypted files. A good free encryption program is TrueCrypt (downloadable from pcworld.com)

Okay, so I may not be an expert but I know if you format it, some stuff remains the best thing is to format and then write over it. That way there is not any data that can be read from before. So I would format, write over it and format again then add the files you want to keep back on it.

On a Mac you can use Filevault (system preferences) or you can create encrypted disk images with Disk Utility (Applications:Utilities) and store your sensitive data in them. \n\nYou're never really safe with Windows, but there are ways to lock folders. Try doing a web search for locking folders.

I am assuming that your company used Windows XP Professional Edition. It cannot be HOME for one thing. Assuming your network administrator has everything setup properly, and if you have a password on your account and you need a password to login, then you are good to go. This means if you put your files in My Documents folder, no one else can access it. To ensure that no one else can read it, encrypt it using this method as described in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:\n\nHelp keep your data safe\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/encryptdata.mspx\nThe article above describes how you can encrypt your files without installing any third-party applications. \n\nFor further assistance, go to:\n\nMy Computer Headaches YahooGroup:\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/mycomputerheadaches/\n\nMy Computer Headaches Forums\nhttp://mycomputerheadaches.tz4.com

Depends on what software you use but it should be decrypted to wherever the applications default directory is.  I use DVD Shrink and you can customize it and use a directory of your choosing.  It also uses nero so once it's done encrypting, it will automatically start burning it if you want.

Zip and Unzip (or some other compression program) should preserve permissions in the archive and restore them upon decompression.
