Let us say I have a slew of pictures of Playmates showing off naughty bits in a folder. Is there a way to hide this or require a password to view contents of a folder in Windows 2000? Without any encryption software?

This one is freeware - Click here
It does files. There is an option to do folders, - I think it simply does all the files found within the designated folder.
The files are not hidden, but they can't be opened.
It is encryption. Check it out if you change your mind.

Why do you prefer no encryption?

Just hide the directory in dos by using the "attrib +h" from the main prompt

Tried it, just for fun.
Depends on a optional setting in Windows. I can still see the directory with the hidden attribute just fine in Windows.

In a dos box, dir/a shows the directory with the hidden attribute.

On second thought - how about simply zipping it up?

Winzip is simple to use.
Zip the files up, using a password.
Can't unzip them without the password. Would that accomplish your task?

I use PGP Desktop Professional. I have a whole encrypted 500gb firewire drive. Do I need it? Nope, but I want it anyway! I throw all my porn onto that drive. It's not too slow either. I just can't do any video editing on it of course.

I started a thread a few days ago asking opinions on privacy software and hiding folders and such. I use this software called PrivacyView. It's not freeware but I bought a copy. You get a trial so I mean that is what got me to try it to begin with. I see others have linked so here is the website for it... PrivacyView
