Derek

Jump to PostDepending on what types of files you are trying to protect you can just zip them and use a password for the zip.
You can even make them executeable with a password if you want.

If you have an ntfs partition then you can easily change its permissions to your favour.

Just Right click the folder you want to protect from other users ... go to properties and then security tab --> here you'll have a list of users and their capabilities (whether they can read , write or they have full read/write permissions) ..
