Hello all,
Does anyone know where I can get a program that simply prompts a user to enter a password before opening a folder? All of the security programs I've found deal with virtual drives and compression.
Windows 98 SE had an option where you could directly code into the folder itself. I used a javascript code that prompted for a password. It wasn't high security by any means, but it kept novices out. XP doesn't allow this and I can't find a program with that kind of simplicity.
If all else fails, I guess I'll just have to learn how to write one myself.
