Hi all.

I have an app that needs to create a folder off the installation folder,
this is not a problem. But, I need to password protect this folder so only
the application can get access to the data stored there.

Of course a user can add a password to a foler, but how can I do this from
within my code, then how would I open a file within this password protected
folder?

Is this possible?

Cheers,
Tull.

Locking the user out of a directory on his own computer is not a cool
thing. You should find some other way to protect your data, such as
encrypting the file.
