hi. i'm looking for an easy way to password protect certain folders on my harddrive. ocassionally i let others use my computer to check email, etc... (the woes of being the only one with a computer and internet access). and there are a few things on my harddrive that i would like to keep private.
i just want to put a simple password protect on some of my personal folders. all i want is for a password prompt to pop up when trying to open certain folders. i have looked around and there are some fairly extensive encrypting programs and such. but i'm not looking for something so complex. it takes time to encrypt and de-encrypt data constantly. i just want to prevent anyone from opening a folder without a password.
can anyone point me to this kind of utility? or is there a way to do it within mac os x? i have 10.3.9.
thanks for your help!
