Is there a program for Windows Vista Home Edition that offers password protection for shortcuts? Here's my problem;
I have a few shortcuts/Icons on my desktop I want to keep private. I've seen answers about managing administrator controls and user accounts, etc but that won't help me. I keep my computer on and signed in at all times so there is no changing of users, if I step away from my desk I'd like to be sure no one can click on a desktop Icon and access these files. I don't want to go through logging off and on throughout the day to avoid unauthorized access.
I am looking for one that will prompt for a password when the icon is clicked.
Password-IT is the only one I've found but read the review in CNET and it was not good at all. I haven't found any others. There's got to be more than one program in this IT oriented world we live in. Help Please!!
