Locking a folder... Possible in Windows 7?
Is it possible to lock a folder within Windows 7 so NO one can enter it? Not even myself with Admin rights, without knowing a password.
Lets just say I have this folder called, um, "X"... Which we could also call "XXX" if we wanted to, cough...
I have a 14 and a 16 year old who use my desktop to watch movies and I would like them to not be able to enter or find due to indexing said folder called "X"... I don't care if they can SEE the folder, I just want it to pop up a prompt for a password if and when someone double clicks on it, trying to enter it, even IF they are logged in on my login, the one with Admin access.
Is this possible? If not within Windows 7, are there any programs that will do this? I know you can use programs to make encrypted container files on the drives but the bitch with those is that you have to pre-set the size so for example if you make one 20GB, and it's only got 1~2GB of data in it, it still uses the full 20GB. I just want to password protect a couple folders even when people are on my own login.
Thanks!
