lizard_king4202 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have one user account (and dont log on with a password i find it annoying) but i want to prevent people from accessing certain files (or the whole usb drive) I know how to prevent certain other accounts from accessing folders (but not whole drives) but that doesnt help me because i do NOT want to have the logon screen. Is there a way to do this or am I out of luck? btw i have windows vista home premium 32bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 If I've understood your questions correctly, with one exception, I think what you're asking for is impossible (but I may be wrong). If you do not have a password to just one of your admin accounts, then a knowledgable and determined person who has physical access to your computer can eventually have access to any files or folders on your computer or its peripherals. The one exception is for USB drives that have their own built-in password system (e.g. Imation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 You could try Microsoft Private Folder; MS has withdrawn the product (because of corporate customer concerns), but it can still be downloaded from many places on the Internet.
