Desktop question

For Windows NT, 2000, or XP WITH the hard drive formatted as an NTFS volume, the answer is yes.

For Windows 9X, or any FAT32/16 volume, you will need to find a 3rd party security utility.
I suggest that you take a look at the free-ware tools at www.nonags.com

Hi,

You can password protect your desktop with a screen saver password, but this will protect your entire computer from spying eyes, if you are using XP... Open Display, in Control Panel. On the screen saver tab under screen saver click a screen saver. Select on resume, password protect check box. If Fast User Switching is turned on, select the On resume, display Welcome screen check box. Your screen saver password is the same as your logon password. If you do not use a password to log on, you cannot set a screen saver password. Fast User Switching It is not available if your computer is part of a network...Good Luck!

What's even cooler. I found some software that will create an invisible drive that you can store 10MB on with the free version. You cannot see the drive unless you launch the program and put in the password. Try it. It's super easy to use and it's free.
