Hi there, I am using XP on a shared PC with other member of staff. How can I stop any one viewing my personal data on drive d: I want prevent access to it. Is there a way to lock the drives with a password?
Not if everyone is logging in as local admin accounts assuming d: is a local disk. You can encrypt your data but then you can also lose all access to your data because of encryption and losing the encryption key.
I have heard about third party programs that may accomplish what you desire but haven't worked with any myself.
