NONE OF THESE IS REQUIRED! Your files are allready protected when they are located within your user directory "C:\Users\[username]\" Only those with Administrative power could they gain access to your files. You do not have to do anything to get this setup, Windows does it BY DEFAULT.
When the time comes you need to give another account access to certain files, copy them into a location within "C:\Users\Public"
Because the software is unnecessary. And a trap. Ever fails and you can end up with corrupted files. Windows already handles user account isolation for files, no additional software or setup required.why, when you can use this handy software...
Then you move it which is instant. Either way, files that large are edge cases.what if the file size was about 30Gb! you cannt copy it that simple...
I may be missing something obvious here, and showing my ignorance
but I wonder what the purpose of this request/requirement is?
The OP wants to protect access from some files, and then turn around and allow access to some of those files with a password from a common "Guest" account.
Why not just unprotect the files rather than require a password, move them, copy them, ...?
The OP hasn't responded in a while, so maybe this is another "no-show OP followup" ...
Unless the move is to a folder on a different Hard Drive ?
I keep getting the "Folder In Use" Error when i try to change the name and I'm not even logged into that account o.o
Hello StormyAngel8 and welcome to Seven Forums.
This is a very old thread, and your problem may be different than what this thread is about (post #1).
You would probably get better help creating your own new thread, and give as much detail info as you can about your problem.
hth,
David
