How to lock folder in windows 2000 from every one

This depends on how you think other users will be accessing your folder.

Is your system a member of the domain on the network?

Does anyone other than you use your computer?

Is the folder shared out directly or a sub-folder of another share?

Are you saying you have administrative rights on the system or that you are using the administrator account?

Is this administrative right/account domain level or local system?

Answering these will help determine the correct way to lock down the folder without causing havoc on the system.

Simply right click on the folder that you want protected and select properties. Click the security tab. Add you username in the list of users that can access this folder. Give your user full access rights to the folder.

Now remove all other users from the folder and this will now only permit you to use it.

Well..i too wnated the same thing to be done on my system...so I got a particularsoftware that helps put a password for any folder that you want to protect. and you or anybody fo that matter can access this folder only by giving the required password.

I happen to have a trail version copy of this software with me...i need to find out where we can get this downloaded from....or contact me at kgs_03@yahoo.co.in to see if i could send this software across to you anyway...
