Besides just hiding a folder with subfolders and files, is there a program or some other way to restrict access completely? Such that a person can view this folder if they know the pathname and a password perhaps? Maybe also prevent Windows from indexing it in the Recent Documents?

 

Yep it is built into windows with the ability to password protect folders individually

 

John, we know Windows security is loophole central...

BTW, I found a program that will completely lock out an entire hard drive from access until you use the program to unlock it again.

 

You didn't ask for a 100% secure program in your first post now did you?

Asking a simple folder lock question and asking for a more secure program than Windows security are two entirely different things

 

Isn't folder lock not available in the Home Edition? Only Professional n' up? I asked the same question a year ago.

 

There is a program called Folder Guard that does that. You can restrict access to certain people, hide the folder, make the folder seem empty, all that.

 

I have Professional and when I right click a folder, select "sharing and security," "make this folder private" is not clickable.

 

does "J:" stand for "Jack-off material"? :reechy:

 

How coinciding!

 

chmod -R 700 /home/you/
