Question
Hello:

Is there any way to "protect" or make "invisible" certain favorites in the Internet Explorer browser?  I am running Internet Explorer 6.0.2900 with 128 bit encryption on Windows XP with service pack 2. When you click on favorites on the toolbar it drops down another toolbar. Your 1st option is add to favorites and your 2nd option is organize favorites.  Then there is a line or break and under that are all of your favorite website links.  If you go into organize favorites you can even create a new folder. That is my main question.  Is there any way to to "protect" or make "invisible" that new folder that you have created without having to set up different profiles on the computer? I know this may sound a little confusing so I hope you understand what it is that I am asking.

Thanks,

N


Answer
Hii Paul,
 You can do that but one thing i wnat to know is that how would you be able to use them anyway. You will have to repeat the whole process to 'unlock' as you locked it.
 Any how, here goes the simplest procedure.Go to document and settings>your user name>favorites. There You can apply all settings be it hiding the folder or setting access rights to it like any other folder.
Thanx.
