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

My first answer is, reboot.  Sometimes that's enough to take care of those sorts of problems.  If that doesn't work, open "My Computer" and go to the folder where you've saved it.  Find "Folder Options" in the menus--if you're using Windows XP, go to Tools->View Folder Options.  Then click on the "View" tab.  From there, look through the options until you find "Show Hidden Files and Folders", or something similar.\n\nOnce you can see hidden files, have another look at that directory and see if you've got some hidden files there.  Nine chances out of ten you do.  Look for files that have a name very close to the name you saved the file as and that are hidden files.  Go ahead and delete those ones.  DON'T DELETE THE ORIGINAL, NON-HIDDEN FILE.  If you're not sure, make a copy of the folder before you try it.  Once you delete the hidden locking files, you should be good to go.

You need a software for that like http://www.password-protect-software.com/ would do that for you. I dont know if theres a free program for it though.

Close the computer.\nRe-start, and keep hitting "F8" and then start in "Safe Mode"\nSign in as the administrator.\nChange or eliminate the password.\n\nDo this only if it is your computer, if it is someone elses, you would be breaking a confidence of that person, or maybe even breaking a law in your area.

deponds upon which file, see sometimes simply the file format changes, that's not the work of the virus, now i don't know the file, but you know it, so just right click it and do open with, and if you don't get the open with, just fo to rightclick properties, and there you find the associate with option, do it with the porgrame the file belongs with. might help.

We have iMacs, and the AIM for Mac has an option in the Preferences, where you can choose to have it save the logs, AND you can password protect access to the logs - that's how I keep tabs on what my son is really up to!  And thankfully, it's nothing too bad.

well for me I just right click and under properties, i go to add passowrd. or i highlight th folder and rigth click scroll down to password protect. then i fill in my password. don't lose it, cause you won't be able to access it again if you do.\non my system if i lose the password. you won't be able to delete the folder either since it will be protected.\nnote- there is a glitch... the passworded folders are still accessible by browser if they know a file inside, by typing the "drive" name, "Folder", "subfolder", then "FILE" name. I do it easy by going to the browser and clciking then drive letter, opening the folders down to the passworded folder, then I search that folder with *.* and then pull the files from the folder without ever having to open the folder.\n\noh i forgot to add, i needed to also run Upnp so that the drive was accessible. once you can see your drive. IFF you have admin rights, you can unprotect the pin drive properies. But seeing as that you said you have a folder there, i take it your system sees the drive.

I would use the shareware program winrar.  www.winrar.com.  You can put all of the files you want private in a single file container, and encrypt it with a password.  Good luck!

simply search for software folder lock in google and download its trial its the best i have ever used and when u lock a folder through no one knows the folder is there when its actually there and u even can't find it by search!

some web sites have protections against your viewing of the source code.  just save the site to your hard drive and open the file up with a text editor; you achieve the same result.

Just click on the file at the bottom: JUNK. Also in your setting there is a JUNK file option. \nLimeWire is slowly going down the drain since Microsoft released a P2P plug in its update making connection between users nearly impossible. Its' not like its' use to be.

I think u should disable the "Run As" option :)\nand if someone knew the Admin's password, why doesn't he/she login as "Administrator" ? why must "Guest" ?

If you don't care whether the file is visible or not and just want to prevent others from accessing its contents, the best solution is to encrypt it. Do *not* use ZIP archives, because the cipher they use is weak and can be broken.\n\nIf the file resides on an NTFS file system, the easiest way to encrypt it is to use the built-in encryption capabilities of Windows. To determine whether the file resides on an NTFS files system, do the following:\n\n1) In Explorer, right-click on the drive on which the file resides and select Properties from the menu that pops up.\n\n2) On the General tab of the dialog that will be displayed, find the "File system" label (it's just beneath the "Type" label). If the file system is "NTFS", you have what is needed. If it is "FAT32" (or "FAT") or something else, then you'll need a different solution; more about it later.\n\nNote that only Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP support NTFS file systems; Windows 95 and Windows 98 do not. (Although just because you are using a version of Windows that supports NTFS does not necessarily mean that this is the file system of the disk where the file is; you still need to check using the above method.)\n\nIf you have determined that the disk on which the file you want to protect is uses the NTFS file system, you can protect the file using the following procedure:\n\n1) Right-click on the file in Explorer.\n\n2) Select Properties from the menu that pops up.\n\n3) On the General tab of the dialog that appears, click on the Advanced button.\n\n4) A new dialog will appear. Check the checkbox marked "Encrypt the contents to secure data".\n\n5) Click the OK buttons to close the dialogs.\n\nIf the disk on which the file resides does not use the NTFS file system, you'll need third-party encryption software.  Be aware that most crypto programs written by amateurs (and even most crypto programs sold by software companies) are weak and easily broken by a determined attacker. It is best to stick with programs which are available in source and have been inspected for vulnerabilites for years. One such program is PGP. Although designed mainly for message encryption using public key cryptography, it can be used to encrypt files using conventional cryptography too. However, if you have more than one file you want to protect, it is better to create a whole encrypted volume (like a disk partition), on which to store these files. PGPDisk is ideal for that, although TrueCrypt is reasonably good too.

If you are using Windows XP you have several options.\nOption 1: Right click on the file to password (or an entire folder if you want), click properties, click the General tab, click Advanced button, click Encrypt Contents check box.\n\nOption 2: Use compression program like WinZip, and choose Encrypt or Password Protect options.\n\nThese will encrypt your information so that only a programming genius will be able to see your data 99.99% of people will not be able to get to it.\n\n* NOTE *\nIf you are engaging in illegal activity, these will not be good enough. Neither will deleting the files. The police can easily crack those. In that case you will need to delete everything, throw your hard disk away and never access those files again.

It seems to me that the best way to protect files and folders is to make them private and only accessible on your account. This means that if you do not have an account, you need to create one with a password. Or if you have one but no password, add a password. \n\nTo make a folder private so that only you can view its contents, right click the folder or file and select "properties." Under the "sharing" tab, check the box that says "Make this folder private." These are instructions for Windows XP, so the process will differ if you have another OS, but should be similar with another version of windows.

Read the EULA. There will almost certainly be enough legal butt-covering in there that your suit will be futile.\n\nYour best bet is to find a hacker friend who can figure out what it does, and possibly a way to turn it off. It may be some sort of anti file sharing program, or it may just be some stupid quick-launch thing to make it more convenient.
