vista private folder

Hey Group

Im looking for a microsoft vista compatible program that can lock my files.
something like bitlocker does to a harddrive but this is just for some
specific folder as my documents. im writing a huge projekt and got some
files that is classified so this is a puplic family pc. with 2
administrators on it, so i need something to lock the my documents folder so
no one but i can enter it. it seems there are no built in, in vista. so hope
there are some gurus out there to help me out :-)


Cheers

kristian

Kristian,

They are plenty of 3rd. party apps out to do what you want. Just do a Google
search for.......
hide folders in vista


Additionally I found this, but have not tried it yet. It's not the most
secure method available, but may meet your needs and requires no install.

Depending on your flavour of Vista, EFS (encrypted file system) is
included which should do the trick.

Now, someone will administrative rights can probably manage to decrypt
'em, but they could also install a keylogger and monitor what you do and
get your password/encryption key/whatever that way too.
