Can we lock a folder in Windows 7?
I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I was thinking if we can set a password for a specific folder to prevent any access to it. Is that possible?
If not, then is there a way to protect certain folders from getting unauthorized access? |

If you fiddle with permissions a bit, you can lock a folder so only your user account may use it, but if you're logged in and leave for a few minutes, anyone can sneak over and open the folder. Use the Win+L key combination to quickly send the computer to the login screen without logging you out.
Actually, I believe this is the default behavior in Windows 7 with the Documents folders for non-full admins. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; June 8, 2012 at 01:10:23 PM. |
