    My brother likes to delete my music becuase he's an idiot, so I was wondering if there was a way to prevent him from accessing my music folder without a password. One thing though, is there a way that you don't have to open a specific program, open the locked folders and unlock my music folder (ie. the methods in folder lock)? Id like to be able to easily access my music folder by just quickly typing a password, closing the folder, then having it locked again. Any help?

    Yeah I explained that Folder Lock doesnt do the trick. with Folder Lock, I have to spend 10 minutes locking my folder everytime I get up. I want it to be always locked, but to be able to access it by password.

    in the newer versions of folder lock, there should be a lock by default option. are you sure you looked through everything listed?

    I have the latest Folder Lock option. Could you explain the lock by default thing? I dont see any preferences on this program.

    And even then, my folder is still invisible. I cant go to my files unless I unlock everything.

    my mistake, then. i could have sworn it had that option. i'm not familiar with any other programs that could do what you're asking.

    Yeah thanks for helping anyway. The thing is I listen to music constantly but I often have to get up off my pc in a hurry, so I dont have time to open the program, select the folder, lock, then close. The same thing goes for unlocking. Id like to be able to have the folder visible, but only accessible by clicking and having a password thing pop up.
