Effectively Hide And Lock Folders/files In Windows 7 64bit?

Jul 14, 2012

I have some files that I would like to hide from anyone that may use my computer. I already know how to hide folders/files in the 'folder and search options.' However, when I hide my files/folders and then search for one of the file names in the Start Menu search bar, the file will show up despite it be hidden and the 'Do not show hidden files' option is checked. I also attempted to put a password on the folder (one folder has all the files I want hidden) using this site for a guideline: How to create a Password Protected Folder in Windows 7hen I lock the folder, I can still search for the files in the Start Menu search bar and they will open without the password. Is there a better site or program to effectively lock my folder/files? And what can I do to prevent the Start Up search from looking for my hidden files.

How Do I Change Folders View For Individual Folders ?

Sep 19, 2009

In Windows 7 how can I change "Folders View" for individual folders without changing them system wide. For example if I select "always show icons" all my folders are set this way, and that's fine. But there are a few folders I have containing jpeg images, and I want to view those as "thumbnails" without effecting the others which are set to always show icons.

This was very easy to do in Windows XP but I can't figure out how to do it in Windows 7.

How To Password Protect Folders

Mar 9, 2012

I would like to password protect a few folders on Windows 7, how can I do this? Ideally when someone would click on the folder there would be a prompt asking for a password, similar to what happens when you make a .zip and password protect it.

The only software I found till now which comes closest to my needs is Protected Folder, however you have to open the program each time and unlock the folder you want to use, then re lock it when ready, it's not so straightforward as I was imagining. Also I don't know if access will be blocked from other users on the network, once the folder is shared.

Password Protect A Folder (or Folders) In Windows 7?

Sep 7, 2012

Is it possible to password protect a folder (or folders) in Windows 7 somehow? I have several possible uses for this. One of them: At work all my colleagues and myself uses a common computer. On this computer I've installed Dropbox with personal files. Although we all have our own user account on the computer, we all are administrators, meaning everyone can, if they want to, enter my Dropbox folder. I'd love to have a password on this folder so that only I can open the folder.

Protect Partitions And Files From Damage?

Feb 2, 2013

My SSD with Windows 7 is O.K. - I can restore backup images.My Primary SamSung HDD is O.K. - I can restore backup images.My Secondary WDC HDD is what held my images and they vanished.Fortunately I have duplicates of most on an external HDD.I am currently scanning and attempting to recover from the Secondary HDD the few images that were not backed up.My WDC HDD was GPT which I have read is safer than MBR - but that did not work out well for me.I am thinking of cleaning it and using it as MBR,especially as Lost Partition Recovery is so much faster and easier on MBR than on GPT disks.If I use Windows Disk Management to make the WDC Disk "Offline" would that protect from a Linux glitch,or is it only Windows applications and tools that take any notice of Offline/Online settings ?Would the WDC be better protected if I refrain from allocating drive letters to the partitions on the WDC,and only access via the alternative Disk Management option "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" ?

Windows always Recognises first the WDC HDC as Disc 0
and then the Samsung HDD as Disk 1
and finally the OCZ SSD as Disk 2 (even though it is connected to SATA port 0)

My Secondary WDC HDD was GPT with several partitions.I booted into a Linux Boot Flash Drive that I had slightly tweaked,and Linux aborted on start-up and the system restarted so I allowed a normal Windows 7 start-up.Windows Recognised the WDC HDD as Disk 0 BUT for some reason the GPT style Disc ID was a much shorter MBR style Disc ID.As usual the Samsung HDD was Disc 1, BUT IT WAS OFFLINE due to a Disk Signature Conflict.By Launching Macrium Reflect I saw that the WDC HDD was using the same 8 digit signature as the Samsung HDD.Windows Disk Management shows this WDC HDD as NOW being an MBR DISK with

100 MB Basic RAW Healthy(Active,Primary Partition)
25 GB Basic RAW Healthy(Primary Partition)
25 GB Unallocated
14 GB Free Space
531 GB Unallocated

MiniTool Power Data Recovery v 6.6 is able to perfectly recover 300 GB of files from the 531 GB Unallocated space,but two of the larger 6.5 GB files have the correct names and sizes but fail the MD5 checksum validation,so I know that some sparse damage has been done to a little bit of the information on the sectors.

Files And Folders Alphabetically?

Nov 25, 2010

I was going to restore my netbook OS back to XP from Windows 7 (The fancy looks aren't worth the trouble) and I found I had apparently deleted my XP restore file. So I decided to stick with Windows 7 for awhile.One irritating feature was that my files and folders within a folder were not in alphabetical order.It took me 30 min of messing around to finally alphabetize one folder and apply that to all folders

Hiding .* Files And Folders?

Apr 22, 2011

I was wondering if there are any possible things I could do to get windows 7 to hide files and folders that start with the character "." (you know like Linux).
I find many windows programs create files that are not hidden but start with ".", and while tecnically this is a problem with the program, almost all of them do this so it would be very nice if windows handled this correctly.

Searching For Files And Folders?

May 18, 2012

Just got my Windows 7 computer. I am used to XP file search dialog box. I looked at the "How to configure and fully utilize Windows 7 Search" on this site.

I think I am going to have to take a couple of days to figure this out.

Couple of quick questions: 1. In the search results window, I RMB a file and select "open in new window". the new window address bar does not contain a path. It contains some search info. How do I open in a new window and have the path in the address bar?

2. It appears the search does not limit itself to file names. It is also searching for contents. How do I prevent it from searching contents.
