You’ll get varying levels of security depending on the knowledge level and determination of those whom you would keep out of the folders in question. There are other ways to achieve the same effect. While this technically works, it also bypasses all of the folder-level and file-level security that’s built-in to the Windows file systems. They tend to use the system in a more open manner, with multiple family members sharing a single user account, or even if they do have individual accounts, everybody is set up to belong to the Administrator group because it’s easier to manage things that way. Unfortunately, people tend not to set up their personal computers this way.
It would be a simple matter to edit the properties of folders you want to secure and uncheck all the permissions for it except for the account or accounts that you wish to be able to access it. If you right-click a folder and select Properties, you’ll see a tab labeled “Security.” The purpose of this tab is to control the permissions given to various users of the computer. For example: Documents > Recreation > can the Recreation folder with its entire contents be password protected with one or two simple commands? The various programs I use are MS Office Suite (2010), WordPerfect Suite (X7) AskSam (so old you might not recall it - no longer sold, but is the best database I have found - I'll submit a future question regarding it).Ī: What you’re describing is one of the functions of user accounts, Doug.
Q: Within the Windows Documents folder, how can entire folders be password protected? Password protecting individual files isn't hard, but if there is a substantial number of files it becomes tedious.
