Keep Your Private Files Private You can deny other user of your computer from reading or accessing your private file by password-protecting it inside a compressed folder. Here's how to do it: In Windows XP, right click wherever you want to put your compressed folder then choose New from the drop-down menu then select Compressed Folder (or winzip if installed). This will ADD a compressed folder with the DEFAULT name New Compressed Folder, change it to whatever folder name you like. Now locate the file and/or folder you wand to protect and move it inside the compressed folder. (You can just copy your files but it will leave your ORIGINAL files unprotected.) In the File menu of the compressed folder choose Add a Password then type your desired password in the dialog box then click ok. After that, you have to enter the password everytime you want to access your private files, that makes your private files unaccessible to other user without your password. Note: Keep a backup of your password protected compressed folder because compressed folder can't keep your files from being deleted.

Keep Your Private Files Private

You can deny other user of your computer from reading or accessing your private file by password-protecting it inside a compressed folder. Here's how to do it:

In Windows XP, right click wherever you want to put your compressed folder then choose New from the drop-down menu then select Compressed Folder (or winzip if installed). This will ADD a compressed folder with the DEFAULT name New Compressed Folder, change it to whatever folder name you like. Now locate the file and/or folder you wand to protect and move it inside the compressed folder. (You can just copy your files but it will leave your ORIGINAL files unprotected.)

In the File menu of the compressed folder choose Add a Password then type your desired password in the dialog box then click ok.

After that, you have to enter the password everytime you want to access your private files, that makes your private files unaccessible to other user without your password.

Note: Keep a backup of your password protected compressed folder because compressed folder can't keep your files from being deleted.
