Hi there:
I was wandering if it is possible to make a folder uncopyable or unmovable? I urgently need to know this due to people taking important dat from my PC??

Jump to PostI don't know. but you can protect it by password. then if any body copy it then he can't work with it.
Jump to PostWhy would people be taking data from your PC? You could password protect folders or encrypt them. You maybe able to alter permissions of the file and folders if other users of you PC is the issue.

1. - Folder lock would be the best thing to do.
2. - Why would people be taking data from your PC? Have you thought about disabling sharing on the computer?
