Is it possible to set a password to a folder randomly in Windows 7?
I would like to know if it is possible to add a protection password to a folder created in Windows 7. I realize that you can set up different user accounts or enter the settings on a network share, but it's not my situation. I usually let the friends and other family members just use my computer without going to the trouble to set up a new user account. I would like to create a folder where I can keep the documents with lists of passwords, numbers of accounts and other sensitive data. Is it possible to simply set a password to a single folder?
It is not possible to specifically put a password on a folder and using something like file encryption would not be useful to you or given to your entire family use the same account.
Short of recommending the use of different accounts that would be wise you might look at some of the solutions available out there like PGP and so on.
You might also consider password protecting the actual files, then your file passwords, for example, if it's in Microsoft Word, add a password.
Simple answer, however, is to use accounts for different users, for this and many many other advantages...
Good luck!

Is it possible to apply a password to a folder in my photo folder?

How to set a password on mail?
Hello. Is it possible to set a password on mail? I use an iMac 2010 Yosemite 10.10.5 running.
My family may have access to my computer, in the future and, while I'm happy to let them use Safari, they do not need to use the Mail.
I use accounts provided by ntlworld.com and iCloud.com.
Thank you very much

Create separate OS X accounts for them in the preferences system-> users and groups. Then, they will have access to your e-mails or other accounts and files.

Original title: Multi users
Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the email and password every time that a new user want to check emails?
Hello
Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you need help in the creation of multiple user accounts. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.
What is the operating system installed on the computer?
User accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a screen saver or desktop background. User accounts control files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.
If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, see the article below:

Is it possible to set up a username and password which is required to open Firefox?
No, there is no functionality of password for opening Firefox.

Is it possible to set up a PDF file to print out a copy and one copy?
I work for an organization where we organize different types of successive elections. To this end, we want to send newsletters in PDF format the files attached to an email. But to avoid fraud, it will be necessary to set up the PDF file so that it will only allow one printing file. Is this possible? And if yes: How do we proceed?
I am aware that the Acrobat security settings allow you to set up password protection, and after that, you can determine weather the file should print "in full" or only allow printing LoRes. But the fact is there to limit the number of prints allowed from specific file - in this case to a feeling and a feeling only. Any suggestions... ?
No, not possible. How would it stop - if it was stored in the file, then make a copy of the file before opening it would start from scratch. Many printers can also do a reprint, or change the number of copies of the control panel. You would need a much more robust system to prevent fraud (such as anti-theft ballot papers - but then, it is therefore more a secret ballot).

Tor Browser won't let me set master password
Tor Browser won't let me set master password
Thank you FredMcD for your time and effort. I spent all morning going through the number of entries in the link you provided. Unfortunately, none of them could solve the problem--directly.
However...
I learned so much about all the obscure and esoteric settings available and how to handle that I was able to synthesize a solution intuitively:
- First of all, I carefully removed all traces of Tor with an advanced uninstaller.
- After reinstalling, the browser made his usual routine of Premiere and opened.
- An information bar first time upward offered access to privacy and security.
- I AGREED and unchecked the first box (disabling Private Browsing).
- The program itself given running and I was able to set my master password.
Private browsing, but also permanent Private Browsing, can be manipulated, turn it back on, then back to the convenience of the user, according to the needs of any particular situation. Note, however, that, under any form of PB, storage and use of password is removed.
Note that I did all the steps above (and many other things) throughout my diagnosis, but only AFTER I had already started using the browser (by playing and by checking the various options), which I think automatically some of my preferences of profile defined until I could do it manually. Alternatively, it could be a bad installation in the first place (questionable), or a combination of these factors. Whatever it is, it worked.
Regarding support in Mozilla, I am impressed by the volume and diversity of the information contained here, as well as the good Samaritans like you caring nature. However, almost all the documents that I have met is Firefox/Thunderbird-centric.
A search for Tor showed very little data and nothing similar to my case. By its very nature, a software like Tor would naturally by default an option like private browsing. But how many people know that it kills so the ability to use passwords? Even if the Tor Project is based on the Mozilla engine, I think that the people who run the project should be implemented their own support system or lend a hand here and may not return the ball to well-intentioned donors like you and your employees.
But in any case - problem solved, thanks to you and those who, as lend you time and advice to a complete stranger.
Now all I have to do is to find extra time to monitor these pages so that maybe, someday, I can return the favor.

How can I set the password for iPad 2 Air to something else than "immediately"?
I have three iPad, iPad 2, iPad 2 Air and tha iPad Pro.
My iPad 2 Air gives me the option to "set the password immediately".
the other two iPads give options, for example, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc.
All three iPads running the latest IOS.
is this a glitch with my iPad 2 Air or are they all like that?
Why the 'immediately' is the only option? It looks like the other options are missing.
Thank you.
