Hi,
the ATTRIB command is used to set or clear file/dir attributes, "hidden" is one of them.

To make folder password protected, it seems u may need to write low level driver. Not sure. I also wanna do the same.

I do not think we need to write any program. I guess there is some command in ms dos to perform this task. My friend did that way back long but he also has no idea about it now.

See, we can prevent folder from accessing/deletion. But for password protection, not sure, low-lever driver must be written.

ATTRIB has been around since the days of DOS 2.0
THere is no command to "password protect" a folder. None of the file systems Windows supports offers this kind of functionality.
It is possible, however, to write a driver that creates a file and treats it like an extension to the file system. If you're comfortable with C++ and writing drivers for Windows, great, have a nice time. If not, you've jumped into the ocean without knowing how to swim.

So, did you get your answer? If you have not. The command is ATTRIB

I've got an XP Home desktop and a Vista laptop connected via wireless router. They are both printing (the printer is also connected to the router) and accessing the Internet just fine. The problem, however, is that they cannot connect to each other. They both can ping the other. I've got File & Printer sharing enabled on both, as well as added to Windows Firewall's exception list. Both machine belong to the same workgroup. I've created a matching user/password on both machines. When I go to map a drive letter from one to the other, I supply the correct logon credentials, but consistently get the same error message.
For what its worth, I did these same things when connecting an XP Home and an XP Pro computer and it worked. The only difference that I can see is Vista.
[edit]
I was able to get a connection created where the Vista laptop could read files on the XP Home desktop. Since I ultimately want to changes files too, I need the share on the desktop to be "writeable," which is apparently not possible with XP Home (disabling simple sharing is not possible on XP Home). I'm going to upgrade it to XP Pro so solve that minor glitch.
I'd also like to be able to connect to the Vista laptop from the XP desktop, but was told that would be even more difficult.
[/edit]
Thanks,
DC

Yes, LLTD was installed on the XP machine. That allowed the XP machine to show up on Vista's network map, but had no effect on its ability to connect.

And I presume it doesn't matter if you use the IP address in place of the computer name?
As the steps to take to enable File & Printer sharing are different in Vista than WinXP, may I presume that all is OK there?

In trying to determine if it was a DNS issue, I did indeed use the IP addresses.

I can only assume so since that item was installed on both LAN connections, as well as in the firewall's exception list.

HI All,
I want windows to execute my program's exe automatically when it is shutting down. How we can do this ? This is same like putting your exe in startup folder so that windows execute it when it is starting up but what about shutdown. Please let me know if anybody has done this before.
Thanks in advance

I have not done this before, but it is possible by editing the group policy.
Open up gpedit.msc (from run or alike) then go Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) -> Shutdown
Im not sure how easy/hard it would be to do this via c++ though...
(note that that you can choose to run at logoff, or shutdown, two different times...)

I am having my laptop I wanted to log its startup time and shutdown time in a text file so that i can see whether my laptop was used when I was not at home. 
thanks

There is another way you can do that, i'm quite sure windows has it, but i cant remember what its called, you can like make it log things for differnt accounts. But your own program is probably allready better.
If you end up not wanting people to use it at all then just specify a power on and bios password, and protect all windows accounts with passwords
