My Private Folder 1.0 - Secure Your XP Files

Written by windowsxp550

Friday, 07 July 2006

Microsoft has released a free, new Windows add-on, called My Private Folder 1.0, that allows you to create your own password protected folder. This is a welcome new addition for XP users who have multiple people using the same computer and want some added protection on certain files. Be forewarned though, once you have put these into My Private Folder 1.0, there is no way to get them out without the password that you set.

Attention: This tip is one that you will definitely want to read up about. It addresses a problem that has irritated me (and I'm sure it has irritated you) for quite a long time. The problem is keeping your internet favorites (ie. Bookmarks) more organized by deleting out old ones that no longer work.
