this sounds like a windows question more than a coding question? win NT lets you setup folder permissions if you are using NTFS, if your running win 9X then this isn't possible without a 3rd party peice of software -dz
3rd party software like.....

Go search on download.com or some other site.. win9x uses fat16 or fat32 which has no security at all.. ntfs is the nt file system which lets you set read/write/edit/delete permissions for files or folders.. if you are on fat16 or fat32 then you have to get a piece of software which fakes this out.. but even this can easily be bypassed by just booting to dos and doing whatever you want with the files.. -dz

I'm a total virgin when it comes to shell extensions, but I think this is where they would come into play. Check under the Shell section. Mike Dunn has wrote some cool articles on Shell extensions which should get you well under way. Cheers! :) "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr

I do not know, whether this can be helpfull, but according to msdn: Multiple Data Streams NTFS supports multiple data streams, in which the stream name identifies a new data attribute on the file. Each data stream is an alternate set of file attributes. Streams have separate opportunistic locks, file locks, allocation sizes, and file sizes, but files can be shared. Maybe it is possible to define such stream as password-stream associated with given file system object :confused: Mukkie
