How To Lock And Password Protect A Folder In Windows 7

How To Lock And Password Protect A Folder In Windows 7

Do you want to lock and password protect your important folders in Windows 7? If you are an administrator and have multiple accounts set up in Windows 7, then you can block few important folders so that they can not be accessed by other users. Every time the blocked folder will be accessed, it will ask for administrator password. Therefore the folder will be locked permanently unless you don’t remove the lock yourself.

To lock a folder, right-click on that folder and select Properties. Now navigate to Security tab, and click Edit as shown in the screenshot below.

A new window will pop-up, now under “Group and User Names”, select the user from the list whom you want to deny access to a specific folder, now under “Permissions for Users” check the Deny checkbox next to Modify(all other checkbox will get ticked automatically) as shown in the screenshot below.

Click OK and then click Yes when a Windows Security window will pops-up as shown in the screenshot below.

Now click OK again and you are done. Now the specific user that you selected from the list will be denied access to this folder. If you find it hard to change file access permission for specific users each time you want to password protect a folder, have a look at LocK A FoldeR, an application for Windows that lets you password protect folders with a click.

For the first time usage, it asks you to enter the master password to prevent others from accessing the application.



Just enter the password to open main interface. Now, click Lock a Folder, enter the master password, select the folder(s) you want to lock, and then click Lock it!.


This will immediately password protect the folder and hide it from source location. To unlock the folder, launch the application, and click UnLock a Folder. It will ask you to enter master password, and then show all the locked folders.  Just select the folder you want to unlock, and then click Unlock It!. It’s that simple!





LocK A FoldeR works on Windows XP, and Windows 7.

Create windows 7 / Windows 8 bootable usb

Step 1: Create Boo table USB Drive:


1.  Start Power ISO (V4.8 or newer version, download here).

2.  Insert the USB drive you intend to boot from.

3.  Choose the menu "Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive". The "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog will popup. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 / 8 operating system, you need confirm the UAC dialog to continue.

4.  In "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog, click "..." button to open the iso file of Windows 7 or Windows 8.

5.  Select the correct USB drive from the "Destination USB Drive" list if multiple USB drives are connected to the computer.

6.  Choose the proper writing method. "USB-HDD" is recommended.

7.  Click "Start" button to start creating windows 7 / 8 bootable USB drive.

If no errors occurred in the above process, you should now be all set to setup Windows 7 / 8 from USB drive!



Step 2: Configuring the BIOS:


You should now reboot and go into the BIOS configuration to boot from USB. Instructions for doing so wildly from system to system, but generally entail the following:

1.  Reboot the system.

2.  While booting (before Windows starts loading), get into the BIOS configuration screen by hitting something like F1, F2, Delete or Escape. Hotkey instructions are generally provided on the screen.

3.  Go to the section that contains your boot devices.

4.  With your USB drive plugged in, the USB drive should be listed. If it isn’t, your system might not support booting from USB. Assuming that it is supported (as is the case with virtually all modern hardware), promote your USB drive to the primary boot device.

5.  Exit from the BIOS configuration, saving all changes.

If you’re completely new to BIOS configuration, BIOS for Beginners over at Tom’s Hardware might be a good primer. Be aware though, that you can seriously screw up your system by providing incorrect settings!



Step 3: Booting and setup windows 7 / Windows 8 from USB drive:


Assuming that you properly configured your BIOS and your USB drive supports booting,  Windows 7 / 8 setup should now load. Depending on the speed of your USB drive, this may take a while.

If it isn’t working, then double-check the following before making a scene:

. Is your BIOS properly configured for booting from the USB device? (Is the USB device listed and does it have top priority?)

. Have you correctly prepared the USB drive in step one? (Restart the procedure.)

. Does your USB drive properly support being booted from? (Try another one!)
