    Password on harddrive?

    i have a very annoying sister (who likes to delete all my files whenever she gets angry). is there any way to put a password on a hard drive? if not, then is here any way to password protect my files on a drive? (i have tried winzip and secureIT, but it makes a copy of yur original, and becomes very tedious coz every time you have to unzip songs and delete them again, etc).

    Password on harddrive?

    i was wondering ....will this technique work if i create a password on my account which is ALSO a limited account? can a limted account user view the contents of another password protected limited user account? (i prefer keeping my account limites as well)

    Password on harddrive?

    (continued....) i recently read an article where it says that in winxp/2000, the user can create something like a link between one drive (drive c) and another (drive d) in case there is no space left on drive c by creating a folder in drive d and following some procedure....(its a loooong procedure) to create the link. the system then treats this "folder" as its own system folder (ie as a part of drive c itself). now users (limited account users) cannot access files that are in other password protected accounts (C: \Documents and Settings\User1). can i then convert my own folder into one of the sytem folders so tht u need password to open it? ((in case u need any kind of explantion to this problem, lemme know, i'll gladly explain it all over again))

    no sound available

    i visited the link as mentioned above, got the zip file. i then uninstalled my already installed driver and restarted my PC. when i went to install the driver again, the system prompts me to locate "Pw5017.cat" file (the file that has been provided with the zip file is a "Pw5018.cat" file and so this file is not being accepted). thus i cannot install this driver. also, i don't think there is anything wrong with this driver. i feel so because i had been using this driver on previous occassions as well and it worked fine. in fact when i reinstalled windows, i had my sounds working for me. this problem started only recently. i have installed the same driver (which i had earlier - using Pw5017.cat). there is still no sound available.
