Guest BaldEagle Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Is there any way of password protecting Favorites in OE6 ? I am not a perv and don't visit "iffy"sites but would like some privacy on a family computer. I am on 98SE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I think, if you could password protect a folder created for just your favourites, call it 'dads favourites' perhaps then put that folder in favourites it may work.A recent issue of PC answers had a privacy/password utility on the cover disk I believe, or maybe google will turn one up.

Guest Cookie Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I've had a little surf and all I can find is related to XP. Mark2's idea seems possible. If for any reason that doesn't work or it can't be done in Win98, maybe the only way is to write down your favourites, for future reference and delete them after each session.

Guest northamuk Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 You could also d/L a program called Bookmark Wizard (see Google for addy) you can then convert all your favourites to an HTML file and store it on a floppy, then delete the ones you don't want seen. Just insert the floppy when you want to find the ones you don't want others to see. Oh and delete your history files !!http://www.moonsoftware.com/freeware.aspFifth one down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 good ideas northy but wouldn't be a bother to unzip the folder etc each time you want to use your favorites ? :unsure: how about a seperate user profile and a password ? would that work ? so each time when you log in only you can access your favorites.. windows 98 isn't terribly secure when it comes to profiles i know and we can get around the above suggestion but just a thought..:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 well I have had a good scout around and can't find anything better than Northamuk's program. You could just save your favourites to a floppy as Northy says, then delete all the Brittany Spears sites off of your list...... ;). Then just lock the floppy in a drawer or something when you aren't on the PC.Sorted!!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
