I'm looking for a program that can lock my folder. I know there are sharewares out there but since I'm a cheapskate I'd go with a freeware. Do you guys know any free software that can do this?

The shareware version of "Folder Lock" gives you 35 uses. I don't recommend the program or any folder locking program as they tend to cause more problems than anything.

Just make different user accounts on your computer and learn about NTFS permissions ;)

For a mac I've seen Apimac Secret Folder, the trial has limited functionality but it hides the folder rather than locking it.

Found these instructions on how to lock a folder awhile back. Just tried it and it does work.

Instructions;

1- make a new folder ( name it as you like )

2- inside this folder make a ( TXT ) file & copy inside it this:


Code:
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Private "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End




3- after u copy the Commanding go to line ( 23 ) u will find this word : password here (Change it with ) any password u like.

4- After that make ‘save as’ & name as (locker.bat )

5- Now back to the folder & u will find a ( LOCKER ) commanding.

6- Click on it & u will find a new folder (Private )

7- Ok ,, now copy what u want in it & after that go to ( locker ) by click on it , it will open and ask you want lock your folder? Y/N ?

8- Type Y

9- If you want UNLOCK your folder ,go to (locker) & type your pass and you will see your private folder.

all that script does is add/remove the Hidden and System attributes, which you can do by hand in the properties.

I stand corrected, it hides it and doesn't lock it and it is not a program. The intent, however was to be helpful.

Locking in XP

You still need to use XP pro - home won't let you lock folders
