Justice Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Unless there's a registry hack (I'm sure there is) you need Pro. Home had some neutering done to the ntfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newdles Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Xp home or pro has encryption as well as hidden file capability. However, nether have the option to password directories. You'll need to install a third party program to accomplish those tasks.http://www.password-protect-software.com/index.htmlhttp://www.password-protect-software.com/p...ct-folders.htmlnewdleshttp://www.webzila.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I'm sorry. I must have been remembering seeing the security options in either NT or Win2K. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljones2 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 For XP HomeBoot into safe mode then you will have the security tab.For XP ProStart>Settings>Control Panel>Folder Options>View tab> uncheck use simple file sharing. You should now have the security tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sie Tjin Kian Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hi there,you also you the ntfs protection manager from Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a.Extract the package with the /X switch. Put WINFILE.EXE in your %windir%.So, you have access to the filesystem without a boot into safe mode You can download NT 4.0 SP 6a here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/win.../DE/sp6i386.exe There is also a commandline utility with the name "cacls.exe".Greez, Sie Tjin Kian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyDeNCiTy Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Is there a way to have a directory locked, so that when you try to go in t here it asks you for a password?? Cuase if someone is logged in as you, they can get in the directory cause of the rights... right?? or not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
