How can I lock my folders??

[honkeytot]

^ I need a way to lock or hide them. Is there a solid program for this? Preferably free.

Thanks.

How hidden do you need them to be? If you need secure, use an encryption program such as the free Truecrypt.

So this first one shows you how to lock a folder without any additional software. Looks complicated though, but I thought I should include it anyways!

How to Lock and Hide Folders in Windows Without Additional Software

And, then here are a couple sites for free software!

Free Hide Folder - Download
Password Protect Secret Folder, Hide Folder Lock Folder
Folder Lock - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

I hope these help!

If other users have administrative rights on the computer you can't lock them ( The other user could get into them no matter what you do.) Encryption software is the only option. I also recommend truecrypt.
