[HELP] Need some Knowledge

I know this has prolly been asked before, and alot too but i dont feel like searching around for hours for the anwser so hopefully someone will be able to help.
Heres the story. My grandmother has this F#@&ing habbit of deleting ...err.. "cleaning" S#!t off the computer she doesnt reconize. Well this is her puter but i have a folder in my documents with all my S#!t in it that i use ona daily basis, just for my personal use, ya know ?
Well this folder has over 300 files and pics and whatnot in it that i realy cannot afford to lose with her bs " cleaning".
So my question is
is their a program that will password protect or even " lock " the folder so she cannot remove it ? Hell, if she couldnt access it would be all the better.
Thanks guys.

right click folder and in Properties > Attributes > [check] Hidden
and make sure in Folder Options ~ Hidden files arn't shown.
Grandma won't see it and you can just go back to Folder Options
and set it to view hidden file when you need to . .
remember to set it back when your done.

Hiding the folder would prohibit sharing them on p2p programs and id realy like to avoid that if possible.
Im not trying to hide the folder.. i just want it passworded or ' locked ' so she cannot F#@& with it. Im not trying to store porn or something.

OK, right click folder > Properties > Sharing and [check] Share this folder on the network then. ~ that should work even if it's hidden.

If you are running xp on the machine you can encrypt the folder so she cannot access it. From what I understand, even an administrator cannot access it.
Here is how to do it:

Hope this helps!

the problem with those is it encrypts the folders and files, that takes alot of time expically on a slow computer. they all don't allow you to just password the folder. the one i posted will just password it.
