Aneirin -> Vista and files (3/16/2008 11:48:46 AM)

Hi to all, and especially the computer savvy here. I have a question about windows Vista Basic ;

It it possible to privatise folders in Vista. Privatise in that they can be password locked so others may not view the content?

If there is such a facility available, can the privatised file be hidden from such imaging programmes as Picasa which has a habit of finding every image on a hard drive. I know Picasa can be stopped from searching, but anyone can change that function.

My reason for this is I keep a lot of my photography on my pc ready for image enhancement when I feel the urge, but with picasa 2, it displays everything including my drawings, erotic paintings I do from time to time. This can be embarrassing when I am showing another my photography at college via my laptop.

The work around in XP was to go into Safe mode which then gave you the security access options that had been stripped out of the home addition version. You could try the same with Vista.[8|]

I'm not completely familiar with this flavor of Vista so...

Does Vista basic allow different log ins? If it does you should be able to create a "safe" user and install picassa under that user. Then just make sure your not for public viewing images are under the my documents folder of a different user. Pretty sure that would work on other Vista flavors.
