Seshomaru Samma Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 We have one computer in the office which many people use (about 30) ,I've created only two users an admin and a general user with limited rights. We have about 8 people with who log as the admin user. My question is :is it possible for me (or any other person) to create a folder and protect it with a password so that other peopel can't see it even if they log in as admin? If yes ,is it possible to do the same from a limited rights account as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 You can set passwords in XP Pro, but not XP home.TrueCrypt is open source and AxCrypt is free under GNU either may be worth a look if the OS doesn't provide what you want.

cozofdeath Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 The OS only has file encryption or the 'H' attribute. So all admins will be able to open your stuff. Third party apps are your only choice I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
