You have to go to control panel and "user accounts". Then start a new account for him with limited access and password protect your account and the admin account. Thats the only way I know of. You may have to go in your account and right-click on the folder, go into sharing&security and change an option or 2.

However, if he is not computer savvy, you can right-click on the folder, go to "properties" and check the hidden folder box. Then to see the folder you have to go to tools>folder options>show hidden folders. You would have to remember to turn it off every time you leave the comp.



Edit: Err, i didnt see it was your brothers comp. There is no way to hide or protect a folder from the admin unless they let you start an account with your own password.

windows XP supports compressed folders (.zip) that act as normal folders. Try right clicking inside a folder of your choice or on your desktop, and clicking New->Compressed Folder. This will let you put your stuff in there, and use the compression programs built in password protection. Compression can be set to minimal for maximum loading speeds.

or select all the files you want to protect, then right click then send to->compressed folder

when the folder apears, right click, and hit explore (double clicking may work, or may open winzip)

to password protect it, go to the File menu, then Add A Password
