    « on: August 17, 2012, 11:45:48 AM »
    hi,


    and I want to hide some Video's in Windows Media Player, mark them as Private, for father.
    I do not know how to do that.. though  :-[ .
    Could you, Experienced Windows Media Player users, please tell me how to make the selected Video's private in Windows Media Player.

    Good morning Tricepssoh and welcome to CH

    Well I don't know what OS (vista, Windows 7 etc) you are talking about and what version of WMP (9, 10, 11)
    Is the video in question going to be on the same PC and if it is going to be on the log on account or is the video on another hard drive?

    Hope to hear from you soon, Mike

    Move them to a password protected Folder...

      It is Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1.
      Windows Media Player I don't know how to find what Version it is.... { but now I do: 12.0.7601.17514 }
      The Video is going to be on the same PC.
      The video is going to be on the Log-in account of Windows.

        Good afternoon Tricepssoh

             Just as Patio said that you can put them in a password protected folder. You can use a small program like this that works very well http://download.cnet.com/My-Lockbox/3000-2144_4-10789387.html. Just keep one thing in mind once you put a password on it don't forget it. If you forget the password you are stuck  :)

             If you do not want to use a 3rd party software it can be done in windows 7 here is the link to do that http://www.simplehelp.net/2010/11/29/how-to-create-a-password-protected-folder-in-windows-7/

        Hope this helps you if you need anything else, Mike
