Making files or folders private??

[opiate69]

I have a 2g, 17 inch iMac running OSX 10.4.11. I have a couple of video files I don't want anybody else to be able to stumble on. I've seen other people put password protection on their folders and such on PCs, and was wondering if there was a way to do this with my Mac?

1. You could use an encrypted disk image

Double-clicking on the disk image icon will cause it to be mounted, prompting for the password associated with the image. Once mounted, it will behave like a normal volume. Once you've finished accessing it, unmount it the same way you would an external disk.

How to create an encrypted disk image:
