Be very cautious what you think others do and do not know.
Your assumption may be very wrong as assumptions often are.
"little, juvenile snide remarks"
Read your post again.
That description fits your post.
Just because you seem to dislike the way Windows is designed does not mean
everyone else agrees with the way you want to make data private.
The major criticism in the thread is started and continued by you.
I read your original post and said nothing against it even though it omitted
the easy tools already available in Windows.
It has weaknesses not applicable to my link such as in paragraphs:
"Private isn't impervious"
"Add files before protecting"
Neither of those possible problems is applicable to the easy solution in my
link.
I added to the information in this thread without "juvenile snide remarks".
You on the other hand seem to feel the need to criticize others.
The link I gave can be easily understood by beginners.
If they have problems as some do, they can post back for clarification.
Do not bother posting back unless you have something of value to add.
Further criticism will be ignored and gain you nothing except the last word
you may feel the need to take..

I read everything that's written in this forum. That's how I'm learning.
Now
if you'll go back and read the original question you'll see the guy wants
to
know if he can password-protect some files. The answer is: "yes, you can
password-protect files and/or folders". Now if you people want to
embroider
on that answer, i.e. it's not such a good thing to JUST password-protect
your
stuff then fine. But these 'answers' your giving the guy are not 'correct
answers' at all, they are incorrect answers because he CAN
password-protect
his stuff and I don't think you guys knew that.!
I knew it because I read it in here a long time ago by some [MVP] who WAS
interested in giving correct answers and THEN tacking on his personal
opinions, both of which I was interested in and appreciated.
This forum is for New Users. This strongly implies a limited knowledge on
the part of most of us. That's why we come to read and post our sophomoric
questions on this board. I wish the 'experts' who respond to these
questions
would remember that and try to be a bit patient and basic with their
answers.
Such as "yes, you can ...but.." instead of "No, you can't" when he damn
well
CAN!
I also wish they would curb their little, juvenile snide remarks and
refrain
from back-peddling when they get a bit of egg on their face. But then, I
also
wish that taxes weren't so high, my car got better gas mileage, I'd hit a
good lotto ticket and all kinds of good things that aren't likely to
happen...;-(
