if you have a administrator account.\nthen you can take ownership of particular folder\n\n\nfor eg:\nchoose any folder you want to security right click over it then go properties then\nunder security tab go to advanced tab right above the apply button from here choose your user name then click change ownership something like that and finally press ok it take sometime to change ownership acc to your pc configuration after\nthis you can open this folder.

As far as I know you cannot do such a thing.  But what you can do, is to share the folder that the file is in, but set the permissions of the folder (and files) to allow only a small set of users to access them.  This way, only those authenticated with a valid user/pass can retrieve the files.

I have been using Folder Lock for a few years now and it is brilliant - Not only does it lock your file/folders but it can also lock Hard Drives (partitions included) and removeable drives - If I lock G partition on my drive it makes it invisible to the outside world and that includes ALL files and folders locked too! Highly Recommend to all :\n\nhttp://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/

As far as I know NTFS drives will have access restriction.But if you want to have folder restriction use gatekeeper or Universal Shield Softwares.

make sure they are not stored on a removable drive and aren't in hidden or readonly folders

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.

You probably don't have admin rights to your machine.  If that's not the case then security is screwed up on one of the directories.

Opps.\n\nRestart the PC in Safe Mode (this should come up as an option at boot stage).\n\nNow find the folder and right click on it.\n\nChoose the security settings and change them so that your user account has full access.\n\nReboot.

Is it possible that the folder got moved under another folder.  Go to Windows Explorer and open all folders.\n-MM

You can't actually password protect a single "folder" but you can with a zip file. Just create a new zipped folder and add your personal info and then select "add password" under the file menu when you open the zip file.

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.

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.

in the addres bar for ex: type &#92;&#92;pc name&#92;file path&#92; filename.ext. this will work \n\nif this does not work then you have not yet given proper permissions in the security tab next to folder sharing tab in the properties of the folder. \n\nplease check and correct it

If you're using XP...\n1.Right-click folder, Properties.\n2.Click the Sharing tab, then click the tab that says "Make this folder private"...\nClick Apply, then OK...the next time you try to open the folder it will ask for your Loggin Password... :)
