    you can use "Universal Shield (latest version of Lock folder XP)" to hide/password protect your folders and drives. I am using it for a long time now and I'd say it's the best.

    Hope this helps/

    if you are on an ntfs partition then you have the facility of getting a password on a folder, but then that is not all that easy!

    i have used folder lock, but then, say you hide something in xp using folder lock, you can get it easily from the other operating system, say windows 98!:)

    But who uses WIN98 :D And lets say if someone is using WIN98 then it's very easy to lock a folder in Win98 using DOS ;)

    Yeah, it's difficult to password protect a folder. I wonder why they made it that difficult, it's a very logical thing to protect your stuff. Why make it impossible...whatever..

    rtfm!

    you can create a seperate user account in xp, so only you and the computer admin can access "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\".
    not sure if you also have this feature on xp home or only on xp pro...

    I am suggesting you to use DriveCrypt program with which you can make container files which you mount and use. They used to give $100.000 to anyone who brakes their protection. You'll find trial on www.securstar.com or on my site (rated 5 out of 5 !)

    win98 was an example, i mean you can easily get the data from password protected folder, using another partition! or another operating system:)

    there are methods to break any protection, after all the harddisk has the data, and no os or software can keep it hidden if someone wants to get it!;)
