How to password protect CD?

**Interface** · October 3, 2004

Can I put a password to a CD rom ............

Like this,,,,,

I have some confidential programs and I wanna write that on a CD rom and send across the sea,,,,

I wanna lock the CD. When any body try to open the CD from any drive It Should ask the password with out the password it won't allow anybody to browse the CD...

I have tsted some encription locking and password protection utilites,, all that can lock the files and folders but not CD rom.. Like Winzip, Winrar and Pc Security etc.

These utilites need to be installed on the PC where you need to open this locked files or folders.

Insert the CD rom .... Password Prompt .....Type Password.......Then Open The CD.

Make a WinRAR archive - most secure uptil now.

And embed it with SFX - so it will extract itself properly if you provide correct password.

Agreed but If I wrote on a Cd and any body can see the SFXexe file.

Insert the CD rom .... Password Prompt .....Type Password.......Then Open The CD.

If you try to Browse It should Prompt the Password...

Please........

Here is a method from the CDShell website that tells how to hide some files completely but still be accessed, I think. Been a while since I've read that so have a look.
