Hi Doug, in Win Me if you right click on the folder and select properties it gives you the options 'read only' or 'hidden' or 'archive', so I would guess to select hidden but I'm afraid I might hide it and then can't find it. If you try it would you let me know what happens? --Glo (chicken) ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 11:31 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Hidden folder I back up all of my business stuff, about 12 gig, onto a second pc, but our children use that one as well, is there some way of making that folder on their pc somehow hidden, so that they can never see it ? Win me on both pc's. dr To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
