• How to password protect my files shared on my network?

  I am trying to share a folder on the network and the have password protected. I use Windows XP Service Pack 3 Professional. I have disabled in simple file sharing files Options. All my computers are in the same workgroup. For the record I would like to share, I have the following settings:

  On the sharing tab, I 'Share this folder', filled in the maximum limit and the share user name. The "Permissions" button, I deleted "Everyone" and put in a username I've created specifically for the sharing folder connection and he gave total control. Everything is left to him by default.

  For the Security tab, I just like default except added the user account, I created and that you have authorized for total control.

  When I look at from any computer on the network, I can see the computer and shared folders in the working group. There is a default folder "SharedDocs" I open it. But if I try to enter the folder that I created, I get the following error:

  "You are not allowed to access \\MYCOMP\SharedFolder. Contact your network administrator to request access.

  If I do all what I said above, but instead of adding the user account, I put "Guest" or "everyone, then the file can be found on my other computers without the error but no password is invited. What should I do so that when I try to enter the folder, it ask for a login and a password.

  As a side note, my other computers do not have this problem with their shared folders. When I click on the computer under 'View workgroup computers '. Rather than open a list of shared folders, it opens a prompt for a login and a password, and if they are correct, it will show that all shared folders and files shared to that user. If the password of the specific folders is not possible, should what settings I change so that it works like this instead?

  My apologies if this should have been in the files, records and research topic.

  When you connect to a network share, authentication proceeds roughly in this order:

  1. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine sharing the passwords match, while the user is authenticated as himself without another guest.
  2. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine of sharing and the passwords do not match, then this as seen user denied access to the computer sharing without prompting.
  3. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name does not exist on the machine of sharing, an attempt is made to authenticate the user "guest".  If successful, that the user connection looks like it is 'guest' on the machine of sharing user.
  4. If the remote user is unable to authenticate as a 'guest' on the sharing machine, then a name of user and password screen appears to provide authentication.

  It seems to me to make it work as you want, you want to make sure that step 3 above does not occur.  This can be accomplished by disabling the "Guest" on the machine sharing account. (This forces everyone to authenticate on the machine)  Two ways to do as an administrator on the machine of sharing:
  (A) bring up a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  NET user guest / active: No.
  (B) right click on 'My Computer'-> manage-> system tools-> local users and groups-> users
  Double-click "Invited" in the right window-> Put a check in the box "account is disabled".  "OK" your way out.

• How can I protect a file with a password?

  Original title: password

  Please, tell me how can I protect a file with password, folder, a CD, or a DVD. Is there a suitable and reliable and verified software? Please, give me web comments on sites where to find necessary software. I need in order if my CD or DVD discs will be stolen by a stranger or to reach people I did not trust. I need only for private use. You see, I don't have an iron safely to the place I live. I hope that you will understand me. Thank you in advance. John

  Hello, Tommy Stanley. I realized from your questions that you can imagine that I will earn money selling the CD protected by word or DVD discs telling buyers the password. No, I'm not a sales man. Only for me on the extreme case, that my disks will be stolen or to reach people, I do not trust. I guess that to set a password that is easier then encrypt disks. But I wonder to know how to encrypt CD or DVD discs and that means encrypted drive. Through what she may be to read? Please, I explain my situation (I live in time with people that I don't have confidence). Please, give me some reliable advice concerning my question. Now, for me it very seriously. I hope you understood me. Thank you in advance, Shenan Stanley.

  I think you read things in my simple questions that weren't there.  I asked because if it is stored on a single computer/use on one computer by one person - the solutions are simpler and more readily available than if you plan to send this information to someone else so that they treat.

  I recommend you read this:
  http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000705.htm

  If this isn't a shared computer... (It is yours, you can use only.)

  I suggest that you see if you can lock the computer closed (with a physical cable/lock).  You add a password to your system SETUP or BIOS so that no one can change the settings of operating system and maybe even a STARTUP password so it can not even start without enter you a password.  Also change the BIOS settings so that it will only start from the hard drive installed in the machine.  With the Setup/BIOS password, you can change back to something later.

  AxCrypt and TrueCrypt are free and good encryption tools.

  Regarding the CD/DVD - you don't encrypt the media - you encrypt everything you would write for them and you will probably need to copy off the power and check that the files on them are not read-only before you can decrypt in most cases.

  By the way - physical security outweighs almost all other types of security.  Which means you need to physically secure the computer before you bothder same thing with another.  Locking the computer case closed and adding the password after changing startup opportunities, I would consider good physical security in your case.

  How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista?

  Hello

  You cannot use the password to protect the files in Windows Vista. However, you can encrypt the file.

  Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the appropriate encryption key to decrypt it.

• 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.
