password protect ntfs

[abdulabby]

I got win xp with one of my partition as ntfs.I know to encrypt files but how do i password protect my files using ntfs

 

[super_ferrari]

if i answer no then i must be using ext3 for Windows
dat poll question has no meaning.

da shuld be What file system u use for Windows XP ?
-> FAT32
-> NTFS

If u r da admin and u have limited user accounts on ur PC then simply select ur folder in X:\Documents and Settings--> right click and select properties-->click sharing tab-->and select make this folder private.

u can use hide folders or secure files or fileprotect to protect ur files.

wait for other replies which might give u more info.

Hi Mask

Abdullabby, whats with the poll?? Cud u explain how i cud vote for one of the either option??

How about by clicking the on either the Yes/No radio button and pressing submit.

On a serious note. It looks like the poll is for knowing whether you are using FAT32/NTFS or any other file system. If you use either of the filesystem then answer yes otherwise if you use any other File system then answer no.

Oh ok... i get it now

YES, i do use FAT32.

but der was no need of a poll here....most of da members either use FAT32/NTFS or dual booting with EXT2/3... anyone use HFS
