1. in Windows 9X/Me/2000.

Enter the folder to be encrypted, right-click and select "Custom Folder" in the pop-up menu. Next, click Next in the wizard, select Customize and check to select or edit the Html template of this folder, select Standard in the template type, select to edit this template, and click Next (it is slightly different in Win98, except that you choose to create or edit an HTML document in the wizard). A text file named "Folder" will open. Find the < script language = "JavaScript "> field in the file, and enter the following contents below it (the contents are comments in Chinese double quotation marks without input):

Var pass=prompt ("Please enter the password"); Enter a folder in brackets after the prompt command and then enter a prompt phrase, which can be Chinese. Semicolons can be omitted. But this line must be a separate line. "

If (pass! =" 123 ")" The password is 123, which can be set to other passwords. "

{window.location="c:"} "If the password is wrong, you can enter drive C or set it to another partition, but only the root directory."

Save and exit this file setting to take effect. After the folder.htt file is created, the next time we need to change the settings, we can directly find the folder. After opening it with Notepad, we can modify it, and the settings will take effect after saving it. If there is no < script language = "JavaScript "> field in WinMe operating system, and the field we are looking for is < script >, then just put the above content after this field.

2. In Windows XP.

There is no corresponding option to edit the template in the "Custom Folder" of Windows XP, so editing the folder.htt file directly is invalid. At this time, we can "save the country by curve": first, create an encrypted folder in Windows2000 as above, and then copy the whole folder to Windows XP.

Through the above methods, we can complete the encryption of private folders. Although it is relatively simple, it can also play a certain role, especially for people who have no intention of prying into other people's privacy.

There is another way: Encrypting files and folders can prevent them from being read by unauthorized users. The way to encrypt a file or folder in Windows is to open Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder to be encrypted, select the "Properties" option, click the "Advanced" button in the General tab, and select the "Encrypt content to protect data" check box (this operation is only applicable to NTFS file systems).

When encrypting a folder, the system will ask whether all files and subfolders in the folder should be encrypted at the same time. If you choose to do this, all files or subfolders in the folder will be encrypted now and in the future. If only the folder is encrypted, the files and subfolders in the current folder will not be encrypted, but any files and subfolders added to the folder in the future will be encrypted when they are added. When encrypting a single file, the system will also ask whether to encrypt the folder containing the file at the same time. If you choose to do this, all files and subfolders added to this folder will be automatically encrypted in the future.

Decryption:

Method 1 (Windows98/Me system): Enter the unencrypted folder, click View on the menu bar, and cancel the option of viewing by webpage. Click View again, select folder options, and select View tab in the pop-up dialog box. Click "Similar to Current Folder" and confirm that all folders on this machine are unencrypted.

Method 2: Using method 1 will cancel the encryption properties of all encrypted folders, and it is impossible to decrypt a single folder, which is not applicable to Win2000 and XP systems. In fact, there is a general method to crack this kind of encrypted folder. Whether it is a 98 system or a 2000/XP system, we can even enter the encrypted folder like our own folder: assuming that the encrypted folder is D: \ LJ, just enter D: \ LJ \ Folder Settings \ Folder. HTT in the address bar, and we can open the modified settings file (folder.htt, as long as we find it in the modified file. Write down the password, then open the encrypted folder, and we can easily enter! Actually, neither will i.
