@sek7i welcome to esato. Answer to your question, Nope. @50, try magic folders. Or just zip and password protect the file. This message was posted from a K500

Yer simplest way of doing this is to zip and add a password.

But

if you dont want the contents of the file visable i.e u dont want ya mum to find ur porno stash when shes paying the gas bill, then zip the files then make a new zip, put the orignal zip into the new one and add a password, that way all they can see is the sceond zip, not what is in it.. Be warned win has a habbit of corrupting large zip files when inserting them into other zip files, i found this out the hard way several 1000 times

Haha yeah, so true.

But a good way to do it in XP is using Tweak XP. Tweak XP is really good for all other things XP too
