Anybody Knows How To Make Labels Transparent
O.K. if that was too hard a question ,how about this one...
If you use FAT32 and an NTSF drive how can you password protect a folder in the NTSF drive using WindowsXP Pro? I know that Microsoft has an explanation but it is goooblick goo to me since you need to know about all kinds of priviledges and settings. Can you give a more straightforward answer?
goooblick goo = That's supposed to be Welch for "It's Greek to me"
folder options -> uncheck use simple file sharing
make a new unprivlilged account using computer management console
set a password for that user
right click the folder you wanna share
security, share, permissions , remove all entries, and add the username u jus created
select the apporipirate permissions you want, then apply and ok
now that share will only be accessable by adminitrators, and that user
VideoMann, unfortunately i do not believe it is possible to have your background be an html file and have the text be anti-ailised as opposed to the old "windows 3.1" style. I tried having a html page as my background and it came back with the same results.
What are you doing with the folder, do you need it protected on your computer or on the network. If you are using it on a network and want only one layer of password protection for all your folders, there is a great little hack you can do to xp that brings back to some small extent share level access (password protected, but no need for individual accounts) First re-enable the guest account (i know what you are thinking, but don't worry) Then go to the administrator tools in the control panel. Then go to computer management and in that go to the local users and groups and select users. Then right click on Guest and choose set password. This accomplishes two things, you guest account on your local computer will be password protected, and on the network people will be prompted for the guest password before they can even connect to your computer to do anything. This does have the major disadvantage of being "all or nothing" I joke that windows xp has either file sharing for dummies or file sharing for mcse's and nothing in between like they had in 9x (did i just say 9x had a redeeming feature, wow) Hope this is what you are looking for. I'm a college student and wanted to post my pictures on the netowrk and allow people to add and modiify them, I would never let that happen if there were no passwords (and even with a password probably its a bad idea but thats besides the point) It was much easier doing this hack than setting up 20 accounts with different usernames and passwords for people to remember
VideoMann: Just one question, where did you get AquaTunes V2? I am waiting for this app since months now! 
Please, share the link or the file (with mmanson's permission) with the rest of us.

Kye
I did this step:
folder options -> uncheck use simple file sharing
I don't know how to do the last steps just the first:
How do you do the following (I'm just not well acquainted with this):
make a new unprivlilged account using computer management consoleset a password for that user
right click the folder you wanna share
security, share, permissions , remove all entries, and add the username u jus created
select the apporipirate permissions you want, then apply and ok
now that share will only be accessable by adminitrators, and that user
This is what I got in terms of accounts:
Just want to password protect a folder in the 3rd drive NTFS so that Guest Account does not have access.
Need more step-by-step instructions
Thanks

No, I don't have AquaTunes V2. Why did you think I did? Do you mean that icon that partially shows on the picture above of a family named WinTunes 2.qsf ? Oooohh! I see it now on my desktop as a zip file. I can't remember where I got it from. I'll e-mail it to you. Send me a PM with your e-mail.

This is a bit of a long shot and hasn't been tested but it might have a fix with winFX..... Couldn't hurt to try, Prolly wont work though. 
It has options to make desktop transparencies (like xp), 3d labels, add shadows, remove text, etc...
Give it a go see what happens... 
Cheers
