File security

Post by Joe Delaronde »

Using Win 98 with Quatro Pro spreadsheet.
I have some personal files I wish not to be seen using Windows Explorer, Quatro Pro or any other program which might be able to read the files. Is there a simple way to lock these files?
Thanks

Yes, simply hide them from the directory.
onced hidden, you can only get to the directory and or file by actually typeing the complete dir/name of file.XXX
