I would like to know how to go about password protecting
my personal folders from other users on my computer.

I right clicked on the folder in question and clicked on
the 'share' tab. The option 2nd option ''to make private
this folder'' check box is not available. It is grayed
out.

How can I get it to be available??

Help!!

Sorry, but you mistook the option for what it is not. All options
in the 'Share' tab are only regulating file access over a local
area network. They will not have any effect on local users on
your machine.

I might be wrong here, but as far as I know there is no way to
protect a file or folder from being accessed by local users other
than making it only accessible to users with administrator privi-
leges.
