not a vb question but please help

Does anyone know if there is a way to make a
password protected folder in windows?

.inf files can be used to do this. You can probably find one on a CD or I could send you this prank program that does it. When you try to open C:\, you can have a custom message box come up saying something you want.

well can i make it so when someone trys to open
a folder in windows a password dialog comes up?

try http://www.planetsourcecode.com - they might be able to help you out with the code to produce a program in VB.

If not try http://www.zdnet.co.uk - they might have just the app!!!!!

Hope this helps

Try http://www.pc-magic.com and download Magic Folders.

If you have PGP (http://www.pgp.com/) you can just encrypt the files you want to hide.
I'm not sure if PGP is still free or not, the version I have is.

If you are running Windows 2000 and are using the NTFS (New Technology File System) then you are able to password and even encrypt files and folders.

Great security!!!!
