Hello can someone help me to finish my project ! i just made one program where you can select folder/program and lock it but i want to set password on this folder/program is there any chance for this ?
No this is highly unlikely not possible because vb.net can't be used to write a kernal mode driver but it is possible on C# but it is really hard to do i suggest you use winrar and just add everything to a rar and password protect it really easy and simple and less time taking

>> Implies C# can do it
>> Says VB can't.
>> Implying C# can access rings lower than 3.
GG.
@OP there's a way I've heard of ( Well *did* would be the more accurate term ) in the past using some registry tricks ( and/or folder name tricks ) Try googling around for those topics and you'll find it.
Thank you for the answer !
If you can lock and unlock a folder than just add a password to your program and if the password is correct then unlock the folder.

Yeah just add a string so everyone with the least reversing knowledge can easily find it.
no. Hashing and encrypting is the way to go

I think every coder should know how to hash or encrypt a password.
So I thought it would be useless to write it.

Not encrypting the password rather the files locked, password hash is then used as a key, and why not use a IV to get it even deeper.
. @Raydenman @ლ(ಠ_ಠლ) There's a function called Private message, if you wish to argue then do so privately not in somebody's else topic.
This code can be used to lock and unlock a selected folder.It mainly used for authentication purpose.
1.Make a window form which contains a textbox named as txtbxBrowseFolderName,3 buttons names as btnBrowse, btnLock, btnUnlock.
2.Insert FolderBrowserDialog1 control..
3.Insert the following Namespace
(a)Imports System.Security.AccessControl
(b)Imports System****
4.Then insert the following piece of code.
PrivateSub btnBrowse_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBrowse.Click
With FolderBrowserDialog1
If .ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
txtbxBrowseFolderName.Text = .SelectedPath
EndIf
EndWith
EndSub
PrivateSub btnLock_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLock.Click
Dim fs AsFileSystemSecurity = File.GetAccessControl(txtbxBrowseFolderName.Text)
is there any chance for this ?
