this is a really simple but effective way to protect folders:
(can be a bit long winded but if your determined to protect a folder then its worth considering)
ok
PROTECTING FOLDER:
1. you have a folder called "jakesnake" (jakesnake with out quotes) that you want to protect
2. run command.com (to get to MSDOS)
3. run the command ren to rename the file as follows:
ren jakesnake jakesnake+ALT+180
you get something like jakesnake_ appear in windows
then in windows when you try to click to the folder jakesnake_ it wont let you
UNPROTECT FOLDER:
1. you have a folder called "jakesnake_" (jakesnake_ with out quotes) that you want to unprotect
2. run command.com (to get to MSDOS)
3. run the command ren to rename the file as follows:
ren jakesnake+ALT+180 jakesnake
you can now access the folder in windows
im pretty sure the ALT+180 ASCII character can be changed to any in the series that make the "box like sides"
enjoy
jakesnake
