Additional layer of security; 2nd password for some files? (PLEASE HELP)

Team,

I just spent HOURS trying to this issue, including the chat with HP (useless) search.  Help, please!  (Thanks! 0)

I'm the only account on my computer, but I have the children/woman/woman of household living with me.  When I connect to my computer at startup, I log in as one user, who IS the administrator... all the same person, me.  Once connected, I can access all my folders, files, and Outlook.  I want to add ANOTHER layer of security to CERTAIN folders of Windows and SOME folders in Outlook.

I don't want to NOT create new accounts users, etc. as which will not help to solve the problem, I am trying to solve - which is, when I am connected and working, but not away from my computer to answer the door or go to the toilet or to take a phone call - anyone, I don't want passerby (household/child/woman woman) to be able to sit and to access all folders in Windows or some of the folders in Outlook.

On the contrary, I want to create a secure repository or a 'safe' on my desk where I store some personal records.  Ditto, when outlook is OPEN AND running on my computer already connected, I want to enter a password EVERY time I try and open my 'sent' folder or my 'personal '.

I tried the whole 'click on the folder' and go to 'Properties' and then select 'Security' and change allow it to deny... but it does not work BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY USER = I am the ADMINISTRATOR.  If I simply create other accounts, that does not solve the problem b/c I still want access to these special folders WHEN I'M LOGGED in I am trying to add a 2nd password or layer of security for ME EVEN when I am logged in, once again, simply to prevent a person from going back up to my computer when I am already connected and able to see everything on my computer or in my outlook.

Regarding the Outlook, I went and highlighted my personal files and went to the management of the data and settings and added a password, but I think that just put a password on the actual .pst file on the computer, b/c even after I did it and I opened Outlook I could go in any folder I want without having to add the word of past.

I'm not married to this solution, so if anyone knows a better way to protect my sensitive files on my computer AFTER I've already logged in as me... and walk for a minute or an hour (which may never know how long something will take), I would be grateful.  And Yes, I'm trying to remember to hit 'sleep' whenever my foot, but sometimes I forget and I want just a second layer/password when I am already connected.

Thank you!!!

Can I protect files or folders with a password?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/can-I-protect-files-or-folders-with-a-password

Try FreeHideFolders which hides the file and requires a password for access 1 if someone has
namely that there is and its location and name and then they know the password. TIP - write
the password and keep it in several places including the House.

FreeHideFolders - free
http://www.cleanersoft.com/hidefolder/free_hide_folder.htm

A simple method is to do a master data folder so all your important data (files and folders)
is under the hidden folder. Of course, you can protect individual files as well.

The other will allow you to encrypt files, folders or disks together.

  • My Windows Live Hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security.

    How can I delete an email without sending a confirmation to this account?  My hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security.  To remove the address, the only apparent is to send a confirmation email to the address I want to delete.  It is counterproductive.  I have a password, but if they can obtain the information via another email address, my account is never going to be safe.   I got this address for a long time and do not want to lose.  However, he begins to feel that my only option is to go with another provider.

  • "Extract all...". "request password on some files inside the zip, but no password was used to create the zip file

    I created a zip of a directory tree file using "send to...". "'Compressed (zipped) folder '. When I try to "extract all...". ", he asks me a password for some (not all) of the files in the zip file. I does not have a password for the zip file. I didn't even know it was possible to have a password on a specific file in a zip! Needless to say, I can not give the password because I don't know what it is.

    I tried the following:

    (1) created with "send to...". "Excerpt from" compressed (zipped) folder ', with 'extract all... '. ». Result: request password.
    (2) created with "send to...". "" Compressed (zipped) folder ", extract with 7 - zip. Result: No password query. All the files extracted intact.
    (3) created with 7 - zip, extract with "extract all...". ». Result: request password.
    (4) created with 7-zip, extract with 7 - zip. Result: No password query. All the files extracted intact.

    What I find most interesting is (3).

    Does anyone have an idea of what's going on? Is there some kind of security on the files meta-data that could / should cause this behavior?

  • Look at a key security or password for a network

    Hi, basically what I want to know is if there is a way I can see the key to security/password for my network. I'm on the computer that created the network, and now I'm trying to connect a laptop computer to my network and he asks me a password or security key. I do not pay attention to the key when I was creating the network, so I don't remember what it was. Can I see my key so I can connect my laptop to the network?

    This desktop PC and laptop are running on Vista, I say that if there is something else you should know :)

    Thank you very much!

    The best way, in my opinion, to learn that the key is to reset the router by default.  Default values appear in the router documentation.  You can then restore security to something you will remember. Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

  • Installed Photoshop on 2nd computer - for some reason any that it says Trial Version!

    Hi, I currently use Adobe CC on an iMac at work. Yesterday, I bought 10 Windows PC for use in the home, so I connected the Adobe Creative Cloud and donwloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud Manager, then installed Photoshop. But after he finished to install it says Trial Version! It automatically goes to the full application of Photoshop once the trial ends? Or something went wrong?

    Thanks for both of your help. But when I got home in the evening to try these options it says is no longer the evaluation version. It seems itself have settled without doing me anything.

    Thanks again.

  • T400 adding 2nd HD for audio files, any PERSON using Ultrabay Adapter II successfully?

    I use my T400 to record the audio in my project studio. I would add a second HD for audio files and the content of the programmes.

    After some searching of web and because of my current installation, would like to know what additional HD system would work well. I'm happy with my system, but see some stuttering and dropping out of school. I run a MOTU light Ultra in the 4 pin F / w.

    1. I can use the Ultrabay, with SATA adapt II to drop in Seagate Momentus 7200, SATA300, 320GB, which hopefully will be compatible. I saw a post that this works like SATA300.   2 I could use a glyph Portagig 7200 RPM 320 GB, 800 F/W or USB as an external hard drive. I need Garland who at the MOTU F/W400 to connect, I'd be from ports. I don't know if USB would be as good on transfers.  NOTE: My Card/Bus Express slot is in use for other attachments.

    Is someone using a second HD with any one of these methods successfully?  I would go on the road II Ultrabay adapter, to be able to use my other attachments when editing.  CD/w could come back when I need to burn a finished product.

    No matter who sees all conflicts, I, as a beginner, do not see?

    Thank you

    Thanks to all who responded.  I was out of town, without my password.

    But, seriously, I recently returned to the field / natural records, particularly indigenous and endangered forest birds. I am quite amazed at what I can get out of this PCM recorder (Oly LS-10 w / depth of 24-bit 96 kHz, AudioTechnica and Sennheiser microphones, Sony flat). Workstation is with WavePad for a function I use, noise reduction and then Raven for sonogram analysis and noculars. I looking for something that compress the "echo" the file and did not find something suitable. The Oly came with Cubase LE 4 of Steinberg, and I get a little, um, stunned, when I look at that too long. Newbing all over again, so maybe you have suggestions? The long-awaited T400 replaces my current T41 which, well, gets a little upset at times.

    Yes, I the Oly LS-10, a very good hand unit.  I also received the Cubase LE 4, but for me, its got a steep learning curve.

    Much more easy DAW is all on a single page of Mackie Tracktion 2 or 3. Very easy to learn and your final product will be just as

  • Install the Acrobat batch - open password needs me to reenter passwords for each file?

    Hello

    I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, I use processing documents Acrobat pro 9.4.4 trying to set a password to open multiple PDFs that are freshly created from sources .docx (using Acrobat to create) a batch.

    Batch, I take command of security and define "encrypt all the contents of the document" and check the "require a password to open the document", then key the password (twice) and press OK. Then I run.

    I output all option to add as a prefix to the files so I know that he treats. When I run the batch sequence, it appears on password security - settings window, and if I just press OK and do not re-enter the password (twice), the new pdf is created without a password to open (he said 'Secured' on the title bar when it opens). If I get the password (twice) for each processed file, then I find myself with open passwords to work on PDF files. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong - any suggestions welcome!

    XP and Vista do not passwords to protect resources. NT operating systems use the permissions. Here's the information to help you with that:

    Vista identity management and access - TechNet - http://tinyurl.com/6fncvr control

    Passwording of folders is not possible unless you their zip. When you do (right click on a folder, then "send to > compressed folder") and then open the zip file, you will find an option under file > "add a password." Otherwise, use a third-party software. Google "password protect folders".

    You're much better off using permissions instead.
