I have used the Folder Lock 5.0 which the Digit provided in the August or september issue. It's fantastic, cool.

But......

In Win XP it hides my CD-ROM drive perfectly. That's exactly what i want!!

The problem is in Win98 SE where this feature (hides my CD-ROM drive) does not work.
When i click the Browse option to the select the CD-ROM drive for hiding , this software takes me to the Portability Screen.

Following are the contents which shows on the screen for ur reference....

"After clicking the next button u will be able to select the drive u want security in.This will copy the program folder of 'Folder Lock' to that drive. And .... "

So u guys out there tell me is there any way i can get around that. If no, suggest me a stable OS other than Win98 which requires less resources and which supports this software to Lock CD-ROM, Since i have only 128Mb RAM which slows done my XP .

Or any other software for that matter for Win98.

I think the simple reason for that is that everybody does not have the time to try each and every software and it is very rare that somebody might have come across a similar problem. So the reason why people suggest another software is to solve the persons problem.

And there is no harm in trying new things.

Also , Even I do not know the answer to this problem. Please excuse. :)
