can I set up a password for my entire My Documents folder?

My Documents folder is visible at all. Can I set up a password before I can open my documents?

My Documents folder is visible at all. Can I set up a password before I can open my documents?

If your hard drive is formatted with NTFS (my computer > right click on disk Local (c) > properties), then you can use NTFS permissions.

You can - and should - set a password to access your XP user profile.  Click Start > Control Panel > user accounts (you may need to double click on user accounts).  Select your account and click on "Create a password." If you have a floppy drive, you can also create a password reset disk. Otherwise, write down your password and keep it somewhere safe.

Are there other people who use your computer?  Each person should have their own user account.  By default, user accounts that are not "computer administrator" accounts cannot see the files in my documents to other user accounts.

You can also restrict access to your files, even from "computer administrator" accounts (although someone who is a "computer administrator" and knows the NTFS permissions can find ways around these restrictions).  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040

    How can I set up a password in order to access the desktop?

    What you describe is the default method for Windows. If your computer falls directly on the desktop and then some configured Windows to remember your password and apply it automatically. You must now cancel this method (and take a step of it for later!):

    1. press Windows + R key on your keyboard.
    2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
    netplwiz
    3. check the box that requires users to enter a password.
    4. click on OK.
  • Can I set a different password for my online account, by email and on the linked account PC.

    Hello

    I think that it is on the windows system's huge security breach 8.

    I have 3 PC and all of them use the same password (password of account).

    My email is also using the same password too.

    If I want to buy items in the store windows, I need to use the same password again.

    Therefore, I don't want to make purchases of the Windows application because it is not secure.

    It is because if your computer gets hacked or something, the hacker is able to get all your information of all accounts linked to your on-line account (e.g., facebook, e-mail) and all your live account Details payments. They can also delete your account if the computer is a reliable PC.

    I hope that Microsoft is able to allow people to use different password for different purposes.

    i.e.

    E-mail

    Windows Store purchases

    Each Windows PC

    Manage the Live account

    I like the concept for windows 8, but I think they still have room to improve. So, I hope to contribute.
    If windows 8 store is safe to use, the store will work very well in the future.

    Kind regards

    Hi Simon,.

    Thanks for the post and comments about Microsoft Community.
     
    I look you would like to know if you can use a different password for your online accounts and emails and on the computers.
     
    I would suggest that you can use different password for the same account on different computers. You must use the same password to buy anything on Windows Store. Windows Store is a secure store you can go ahead and make purchases from there.

    How can I determine what my passwords for my laptop?

    I'm only guessing, but I think that it includes the administrator password, or possibly a password for the computer itself.

    I'm a bit lost here. Transmit everything you think.

    I tried changing the settings on THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT.  I tried several times but without success. I can't even to appear administrator account.

    Oh, a separation of thought here.  I hope you better treat that you have treated others.  I don't appreciate someone implying that I am "breaking into any computer.  Microsoft makes it easy for me..., you just made me angry.

    First of all, please cite what anyone in my message that was humiliating or derogatory.  I'll gladly apologize for it.  I am sure that you will find nothing, however.

    By reflect, if you use a method to access a PC that bypasses the password, you're violating in this computer, if it's yours.  It is a fact, but it is not an insult.  Not where I "talked down" for you.

    I also noticed that despite your not like my answer, you nevertheless marked as the answer, it is in this context.

  • How can I find out the password for my router, I missed place

    I want to add another computer to use though, I can't find the password for my router.  Is it possible to find it on one of my other computers.

    Except if you have really tightened down on the security of your router, adding another computer should be a simple to plug it.  In any case, most routers can be reset by default (including the password) by pressing the button of reset for about 10 seconds.  As you do not have the brand or the model of router in your post, all I can recommend is for more specific information, you should go to your router manufacturer's website and download the manual for your make and model of router and follow the instructions.

  • How can I set different background color for the slider?

    Hello
    I want to set a different color for track Slider, slider track is spitted into two sections by slider-button.
    I want to put a left gray, the right of a white.
    Under css only changes the background of the entire track, but how I can change different background color for the slider?
    Any suggestion?
    .slider {
        -fx-border-width: 0;
    }
    .slider *.track {
        -fx-background-color:white;
        -fx-background-insets:  0, 1;
        -fx-border-color: #faf0e6;
        -fx-border-width: 1;
        -fx-border-style:solid;
        -fx-progress-color:yellow;
        -fx-border-radius: 20;
    }
    .slider.knobStyle:focused .knob {
        -fx-effect: dropshadow( three-pass-box , red , 5 , 0.5 , 0 , 0 );
    }
    .slider.knobStyle:unfocused .knob {
        -fx-effect: dropshadow( three-pass-box , red , 5 , 0.5 , 0 , 0 );
    }
    .slider .thumb {
         -fx-background-color:rgb(224,225,226);
         -fx-background-repeat:stretch;
         -fx-background-size:stretch;

         -fx-background-image:url("../images/volume_ball.png");
            -fx-padding: 10;
    }

    I don't know why I can't get the node of the track, track has always set to null and the thumb or the other.

    After that the cursor was displayed on an active scene are you doing research?

    (ex.: after you have added the slider to a scene, the scene for scene, then called stage.show ())
