Create an password-protected/encrypted folder from within VS

Hi all.

I want to create a protected folder from within VS using a code to securely store a password file. I don't mind hoe it is secured, i just want it to be so that i can't simply go into the folder and open the file. It would be best if it was something short, like:

Code:

---

Dim password As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\Accounts\" + TextBox1.Text + "\" + "password.txt")
            password.Write(MaskedTextBox1.Text)
            password.Close()
pssword.secure(); 'or something like this.

no replies? oh come on...

Yeah, crazy that no one answered in 41 minutes!

First hit on Google gave me something like this:

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim path As String
        Dim fldrName As String

        path = "c:\yourPath"
        fldrName = "NCripted"
        My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(path & "\" & fldrName)
        My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo(path & "\" & fldrName).Attributes = IO.FileAttributes.Encrypted
    End Sub

Ok, will this make the folder unaccessible for the user, but not the program?
