Delprat Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 'lo,First of all, MS did released a toy labelled "Microsoft Private Folder" or something like. It allow you to set a password protection to any folder. (but i guess this protection is not very strong)Then, you can use NTFS built-in security permissions (ACLs). You need either XP Pro, or XP Home in safe mode to access these settings : right-click on a folder you own, select properties and in the "Security" tab you can adjust who is allowed or not to read, view, etc, any file.You have two boxes, the top one list all users/groups that have some access granted or denied, and the bottom list are the actual permissions.If you want to deny anyone to access a file except you, you just have to remove anyone except you from the top list, then add the built-in group "Everyone" in the top box and deny this group all accesses.This would work if you are the owner of the file/folder, something you can manage in the advanded box, which also holds inheritance settings useful when you manage a folder.Take also note that an administrator will always be able to take ownership of your file/folder and modify the permissions you set.++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roy1984 Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thanks for the help. One more questionDoes the gpedit.msc exist in windows xp home edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Does the gpedit.msc exist in windows xp home edition?No, only Professional. However, you can still make the same changes. Enabling something in the Group Policy Editor is just carrying over to the registry. I'll try to find it sometime tomorrow if someone hasn't already done so by then.

roy1984 Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thanks you for help, jeremy...If you can show me the way to set restriction to x: Drive with registry It will be cool That's what i am looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delprat Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231289This is no more than a graphical restriction (same as TweakUI) : you will still be able to access the drive simply by typing its driveletter (in the explorer address bar, is the run box, in the open/save dialogs, in the command line box, etc...)And even if the computer has no keyboard, there's still copy/pasting... Avoid this trick, it's outdated (as old as win95)++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
