Anyone know how to "password protect" a folder and content?

I share a computer at home with my teenage son. I also do work at home and my customer information must be secure (confidential data). How do I password protect folders for work and other private files?

  • How to password protect the touchpad?

    A touchpad is sensitive to the flight and so far, I can't know how to password protect.  I googled several times with no success.  Help or direction will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    It's in the preferences 'Screen & Lock': http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/na/touchpad/touchpad/wifi/solutions/article/45249_en.html

    Set options to unlock the scree

    The screen locks five seconds (you can change this interval) after it turns off automatically, or immediately if you press power to turn off the screen. Use Secure unlock if you want to force a PIN or a password to unlock the screen.

    Tip If your company has issued your device for you, check with your system administrator if the company has its own settings for locking and unlocking the screen of your device.

  • Anyone know how to solve my problem? I can't import my photos from Iphone to computer. Sign says: Photos in the camera cannot be imported because the IPhone is locked with a password or read. My phone is unlocked. I've tried everything

    Anyone know how to solve my problem? I can't import my photos from Iphone to computer. Sign says: Photos in the camera cannot be imported because the IPhone is locked with a password or read. My phone is unlocked. I tried everything, every single idea. Without success! Any other idea?

    For example, you specify that the device does not display the lock screen, correct? Do you use Touch IDS? If so, try to put your finger on the device to see if it's what he wants.

    See you soon,.

  • Anyone know how to change a thumbnail of files (file not folder) and then put my own miniature captured (what I do) instead?

    Hiya everone, does anyone know how to change a thumbnail of files (no), then put me captured own thumbnail (which I do) instead? Paul

    Original title: thumbnails

    Hi Paul,.

    Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems you want to use the thumbnail image customized for other files.

    You can customize folder icon. But, you cannot customize file icon because if she changes a file's default settings, the file do not work.

    For reference:

    How to create password protected new folder in Windows 2007?

    No such thing as Windows "2007"!

  • Anyone know how to change the password for the installation of Adobe Flash Player?

    Anyone know how to change the password for the installation of Adobe Flash Player? I have tried everything that I usually use and nothing works. My Adobe ID password works perfectly. I can't complete the installation without this, and it doesn't have a 'forgotten password' button to change it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    There is no password required for the installation of Flash Player, at least not on the side of the things Adobe.  It's probably the security of your computer, forcing you to you connect allowing the installation to occur.  Only you would know what would be the connection for this information.

  • How can I protect my folder on the external drive?

    I don't see a clear answer to this question online. I want to protect a folder on my external hard drive which has some personal data. I have to protect the whole disc, just a folder + subfolders. I see that the 3rd party software programs box password protect a folder, but when uninstall you them you may lose the ability to access again if you aren't careful, and they aren't full evidence for someone who is computer savvy and I really want to see this data.

    I watched a video on here EFS: EFS but it is a senseless video and provided no help to understand how it works. I created a folder to the test and does what it says. The name of the folder turned green so I know he did something, and it prompted me to create a key with password and save it, which I did. However, I can always freely open that folder and see the content, so anyone who has access to my computer is able to view that as easily as any other folder. Don't ask a key or password or anything like that. No sense for me...

    I need to a single folder (and subfolders) on my drive to be protected, encrypted, whether, for other people cannot access it even if they steal my external drive and connect it to another computer. I don't understand why it is so hard to find something that can do this and how to do it.

    If you enable encryption by file (or folder) with this option, which cannot be done because it is encrypted specifically with a hash of your account.  It also means that even if a system admin force - reset your password, the hash is invalidated and files that have been encrypted in this way will be unavailable.

  • does anyone know how to number the photos when they are exported so someone can choose the peak of number

    Anyone know how to number the photos when they are exported from LR, so someone can choose the photo they like with a number

    Sorry took with the last answer.

    More simple form used something like-Sequence_Filename number suffix

    If an image as _ABC0987.nef will become 0001_0987.nef and 0002_0988.nef, etc.

    Ask your customer to give you the full file name. The suffix indicates the original file.

    (I hope that you only need to search in a folder and do not have a bunch of images named the same that would cause problems!)
