I think you need windows xp pro to do that.  With xp pro you can put a password on any function in any program.  You will need to upgrade to pro and put a password on the delete history button.

Some pen drives come with driver cd which includes password protect, however this function is 'leaky' for example going to start -> run -> browse, allows me to access my files without password.\n\nIf the files you want private are ms office documents, office has a built in password system,\n\nSave As, Tools (top right) -> security.\n\nScreen grab here ---> http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/randompenguin/grab.JPG

Well you cannot put password to folders, but you can hide it.\nIf you want to lock your folders there is softwares which can lock the folders.

It depends on the type of file that is password protected.. If the file is an MS office file, then you get password recovery software free over the net. Just go to a search engine n type out 'password recovery'. That should give u satisfactory results.. ;)..\n\nPS: N thanx fr votin my ans as da best last time.. :D..

Setting a password in Windows is a really weak way of protecting your files. The files can easily be viewed, for example, by booting up with a Knoppix CD.\n\nWhat you need is encryption (e.g. via PGP or GPG), or, ideally, an encrypted filesystem.\n\nSince the hard drive is external, I'd suggest the best option is one of physical security, i.e. locking the drive away.

I'd like something like that too, but I settle for AxCrypt (website below) - which is free, but encypts only FILES - not folders.\n\nWith it you can easily "encrypt" a bunch of files with a password, so noone can see anything (apart from the filenames) - then easily UNEncrypt them when u want.

To lock the keyboard of your Microsoft Windows computer, hold down the Windows icon key and press the L key. \n\nYou must also put a password on your screensaver in case you forget to lock your computer before leaving your office. After the screensaver kicks in, your password will once again be required before anyone can gain access. \n\nOn Windows XP computers, here's how to set the screensaver to require a password: \n\nClick Start, Control Panel, and Display. \n\nSelect the Screen Saver tab. In the "Screen saver" section, choose a screensaver (if you don't have one), and the wait time before the screensaver activates. \n\nCheck mark the On resume, password protect box. \n\nSet the Wait to 15 minutes.\n\nAt the bottom, click the Apply button. \n\nYour screensaver password will be the same as your log-in password. \n\nThese settings may vary based on the Windows version being used, how the computer is configured, and if a different screensaver is installed. (For example, Windows XP computers with the default "Category View" must click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, then Choose a Screen Saver.)

Windows XP has its own built in zipper, or use WinZip or WinRar

Save info to a CD-R not CD-RW, it can't be erased!\nAlso, if your trying to block access, get a program that lets you password protect files.\nWasn't sure which you were going for!

I am not sure about password protected processes, but I really like Process Explorer. It can be found at: http://www.sysinternals.com/
