How to make a picture folder private?

I would like to make a few photos on my private computer, like putting some sort of password or something. is this possible? How can I do?

Hi jessamy,.

You cannot use a password to protect the files and folders in Windows. However, some programs that run on Windows allow you to protect individual files with a password. For more information, see the help for the program you are using.

There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can encrypt your files, manually specify who can access the folders or files, or hide. Choose your method based on how to secure the folders or files must be. EFS is the more sure, hiding the folders is the least secure.

You can use your favorite search engine to download some third-party tools that provide a password for your folders and files.

Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    How to make a picture that I put on my printer in my computer?

    The easiest way is to use a scanner to scan the picture.  Of course if you don't have a scanner, so it is more problematic.  Another way would be to have someone take a photo of the print with a digital camera and upload the image on your computer or on ancestry.com for you.  Take a photo of the print is not the best and takes some skill, but it's a way.  You can also take the printout to a place of photo processing.  If you live in the United States, then Wlagreens, Wal-Mart or a similar place probably can scan the photo for you put the results scanned on a CD or a flash drive for you, then use the results to ancestry.com.

  • How to make a picture of MS and a recovery CD to my HD using Win Pro 7?

    How to make a disk Image of my drive C and also a bootable CD Windows, in which case I have to do this again?

    You hope that it works?

    The day you have your backup/restore tools to work is not the day to know that they don't.

    Why not make a little test... pretend that your system does not start for some reason unknown and impossible to fix and to do the image you have created to recover.

    With the stuff you have since your last operation (a picture that is stored somewhere and a bootable CD), you can at least run a test to see if you can boot from the CD, and then if you can get there far enough, see if you can at least access the images you created.

    Of course, you don't have to actually restore the image - just make sure that you can boot from the CD you have done, and from there, you can at least navigate to and find the image that you created and do things at the point choose to restore your system from this image.

    Have you checked that you can at least get there?

    I use Macrium Reflect (the free version) and keep my images on an external drive.

    I made a bootable USB drive using Macrium.

    To make me feel better about all of this, I started my system on the USB and from there I could navigate to and view system images stored on my external hard drive and could choose to restore the last picture, if I wanted to.

    Of course I didn't really want to restore that image, but at least I got far enough along to believe that if I ever need to restore from an image at least I had something that I could start now and at least find my backup of images in case I ever need to use.

    Will it really work if I ever need to use it?  The only way to know for sure would be to actually try it and see and I could do it one day, but at least it looks promising.

    If you are using built in tools MS you could do the same kind of test and if you encounter a problem and it does not you can understand what is the problem and see if you can remedy.

    Another thing to consider is that if you have a problem with the MS tools and come to this community help I think that it is extremely unlikely that you will find a lot of help with the exception of the most fundamental aspects.  Microsoft has committed that 'experts' alleged Support Engineer here seem unable to solve even the simplest problems.

    If you need assistance with your backup/restore operation I don't think you're going to get a lot of Microsoft because Microsoft is not in the business of backup/restore.  This isn't what they are doing and is not their area of expertise.  You will probably get the best help in using the tools of the companies working in the areas of backup/restore, that's all they do and that's what they are doing throughout the day.

    In these communities of MS, volunteers are always your most reliable resource for solving problems.

  • How to make a picture 100% Adobe Muse?

    width of 100%, it's ok; but I can't find how to make an image at 100% (which follows the height of my browser)?

    I work with adobe Muse CC 2014

    Thank you!

    You can use the picture as fill for browser and then set the position of the image such that it remains on its position. This can be used as a workaround to use the image as the height of the browser.

  • How to make my picture as a transparent background for my Web page?

    Hi guys I am new to web design so please excuse if that seems like a silly question. I think my website in cs6 fireworks but I am able to edit the photo, I need transparent in photshop cs6 so according to what you feel would be best suited, please advise on how to make the image of the car in this picture below transparent. I need the lack of transparency in order for writing to finally go overboard, how would you recommend that I do this.

    Please note that may also offer you constructive criticism on the overall design of the site. Banners and buttons are that consumers demand not so much can be changed with respect to that.

    screenshot.PNG

    Not sure understand your question about transparent car image.  In web design you use with CSS background images then put real text in the HTML text of overlays on top of the image.

    To change transparency in Photoshop, adjust the opacity or fill level on your layer.
