How do I password protect a folder in XP?

[Tizzalicious]

Does anyone know? I can't figure it out =/

[Endymion]

i don't think you can without 3rd party tools.

[Tizzalicious]

Really? I thought you could. Damn.

[Izie]

...I'm pretty sure you can't. Sucks, doesn't it?

[Tizzalicious]

That does suck indeed =/

[HornyPope]

It's a pretty useful feature... but nope, XP doesn't have it. But there are good third party features like Folder Lock.

[the_GoDdEsS]

You people and your dirty secrets. =P

And that folder lock thing would have spared me some tough times... Eh.

[Tizzalicious]

Folder Lock? I'll try to find that.

And Sim, dirty secrets? Never.

[JoY]

I used to have a couple of folders with a password. I don't know if that was with XP, though. I think I pulled it off with "eigenschappen" & that the option is somewhere in there, but yeah.. I've never tried it with XP.

I'm pretty much sure, that if I'd lock folders of mine, people would get reeeeaally suspicious. to the point they'd break up with me.

[Izie]

...I wonder why :p

[Tizzalicious]

Well there's not really a reason if you (and him) are the only ones who see it. Unless they are secrets he can't know about.

My problem is that my mom sometimes uses my computer to copy something, or when her net is down and she really needs it, and I don't want her to find certain things.

[JoY]

*giggles @ Izle*

of course there are things on my computer I don't want anyone else to see, not even Him. (with a big fat H, yo) but yeah, I'm not very big on secrets & stuff & I don't want him to be suspicious. I don't want him to feel uncomfortable, because he doesn't deserve that & it isn't necessary. I especially don't want him to be suspicious for reasons I would be suspicious too. *grins* so he's already seen all the weird, creepy, sexy stuff on my computer, snooping around, just because I let him. he even added to the sexy stuff I have on my computer, after he'd seen other sexy stuff. *more grinning*

[the_GoDdEsS]

I'm safe. My parents never use this computer. And my brother rarely does and he's not interested in my "bullshit" as he calls it.

[Izie]

Well people ARE interested in my comp.

So boo.

[JoY]

Well people ARE interested in my comp.

So boo.
mine too. :/

[Izie]

mine too. :/

Screwed much?

[JoY]

yeah, kind of. thank god my boyfriend can rationalise/handle a lot.

[Izie]

I'll rephrase into "e-slut much?" :p

[HornyPope]

I think MSN also fliters out torrent links and such. Fucking gay. Never knew it would reach such heights of homosexuality.

[Tizzalicious]

Wow, MSN really is gay.

[JoY]

I'll rephrase into "e-slut much?" :p
...not too much. ;P

[Izie]

Just a little then :p

[JoY]

I'd say just about enough. =P

*sluts with Iz*

[Izie]

Le cocktease ;)

I out-e-slut you any day though. :p

[Tizzalicious]

izieisMYe-slut.

because she KLIKZ me.

[Izie]

Tizz is oversharing on the BBS :(

[Tizzalicious]

Sorry :(

But you do KLIKZ me and the http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/tizzje/boobiez.gif

[Izie]

...no comments.

One would think YOU are drunk.

[JoY]

who is drunk?? it's 1:31 PM. *raises eyebrow* oh noez, alcies ganging up.

& no one can outdo what Iz & I pulled of at the meet-up. that was brilliant. (to me)

[Izie]

I'm not drunk. I just drank.

And that wasn't e-slutting. We were PROPERLY slutting. And it was very... Exciting. According to you :p *wink wink nudge*

[Tizzalicious]

I'm not drunk either. I just like that picture!

Christ like you hid it very well. I remember trying to make an avatar and clicking on a very innocent named folder. What made me stay in that folder however, was your very panicked (although calm-sounding) "it's not in this folder." :p

[wheelchairman]

oh how exclusionary this conversation has become.

[Tizzalicious]

I know, now we are talking about boobz, sexy pics and being drunk.

My question was all innocent.

[wheelchairman]

I'm tempted to go on MSN now. But I'd still be excluded. I might just nap instead!

[Tizzalicious]

You confuse me.

[wheelchairman]

You confuse me.
I hate explaining myself.

You're talking about boobs and sexiness. The moment I go on msn this will stop. So I might as well stay off, or nap!

[Tizzalicious]

We're not talking about boobz on MSN. There is no one there! I'm all ronery. And I don't talk about boobz to myself.

[wheelchairman]

We're not talking about boobz on MSN. There is no one there! I'm all ronery. And I don't talk about boobz to myself.
Well I could go on skype if you are as ronery as you say.

[Tizzalicious]

I think you should. We can talk about boobz then. If you want.

[Jebus]

If you have winzip, then you could just probably compress the folder and add a password to the zip file.

EDIT: I can't remember if you could do that on winzip. I know you could do it on winrar.

[Tizzalicious]

If you have winzip, then you could just probably compress the folder and add a password to the zip file.

But then I'd have to unzip it everytime I needed it. Or wanted to add stuff to it...

[JoY]

hahahahahahaha, holy fuck, that was funny.

& we got to see so much more of each other during the rest of the meet-up. *winknudgewinknudge*

seriously though, I used to hide my shit so fucking well, I could never find it back. (kind of important when you want to know where other's *shouldn't* look) so I've started to just put it where it's practical. I'm done with being overly paranoid & prude.

[Endymion]

I think MSN also fliters out torrent links and such. Fucking gay. Never knew it would reach such heights of homosexuality.

try saying "download.php" to someone on msn.

[its one fine day]

i dunno... i can't on ME. maybe get a third-party program or tool
