WOW! This is awesome and I don’t understand why you guys are having so many troubles. Just make sure you uncheck the “Remember Password In My Keychain” option otherwise your computer will remember the password and defeat the purpose of protecting your folder. GREAT INFO!

Great article! I’ve always used ODBC to connect to MySQL because I didn’t have any idea how to use JDBC. This step-by-step instruction helps me a lot. Thanks you.

When I went through the steps and tried to open the folder a password dialogue box did not pop up. It let me just open up the folder

It didn’t work for me.
The next time I tried to open it, it just opened and didn’t stop me or anything.

This does not work for me at all. i did it as a trial on a folder i didnt really need on the desktop to see if it worked and i can still just double click the folder on the desktop and it allows me to still see everything in the folder and not ask for a password.

plus when i search for it it still appears and being able to opened to anyone that came onto my computer. isnt there a simpler more basic way to actually protect folders without the hassle of deleting things etc

I had a password protected DMG but now it just opens right up. Is there a way to put a password back on?

Comment on Avoid Lock-in: How to Get Your Own Email Address by Craig

Hi there,

With this configuration does it mean that the incoming mail does not touch Godaddys filters in any way this avoiding all of their rules that prevent some people replying to my emails?

Many thanks

Yes, but then, when you are logged in, anyone can open the file. That’s what happens with me, at any rate. After creating a disc image in the way described above, and setting it to “read/write”, I don’t even get a password prompt when I mount the image. It just mounts and opens.

It would be nice to be able to encrypt a file and still be able to read and write to it. Unless anyone has any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong, I guess I am just going to have to wait until next year when I can finally upgrade to an Intel machine with Snow Leopard and use the file encryption processes that Apple finally decided to build into the system. *sighs*
