You might consider this:

TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux

thanks dude but encryption programs don't work with system files...

Could you tell us the file you are wanting to protect?

It is a system file (located in system32/drivers folder) that my little brother always delete to bypass the web filter, I've tried lots of tricks to protect the file but he always manages to find a way through...

One sure way to protect the file is to delete your little brother's account, and not let him use the computer, or if you want to let him continue using the computer, give him only a guest account, which shouldn't give him access to any system files.

check out this program: Download Gili File Lock - Shareware Software - Tucows
Gili File hide and lock, works very well.

have you considered encryption software?

Your little brother...is clever to say the least...

Like I said...make him a limited account and password lock the adminstrator account for yourself...

might be a hassle but it should stop his attempts

yeah looks like it is the only way, thanks man
