Lock folder with password

Post by Anakin »

So i'm looking for days for a free program that looks my folder with an passwort. That's what i want.
I don't want:
to make a zip or rar archive with an password
a programm what cipher the files
a safe new drive
...

i only want my folder C:/Programme/.../MyPictures (For Example) locked with an password.
so if i browes the folder and klick on it there apears a smal window and asked for the password if it is right i can brwose the folder. the programm shouldn't have an own proces so that i can kill it with the task manager.

Do someone know such an programm??

First of all, what OS are you running? If you have XP, you need the professional version to lock folders, although there may be a free program out there somewhere for XP Home.

If you have XP, try this free application.
AxCrypt

And always remember to do a google search before posting a request here. When you posted this, i had no idea myself, but a quick google search found the answer.
