Windows XP tweaks:

Change Systemfolders / Protect the content of any folder

Did you ever wanted to change the location of some system-folders ? For example: Windows saves your documents regulary in 'C:\My documents'. Using this feature of Tweak-XP you can change the location of several system-folders just by a few mouseclicks.
Open the 'Systemfolders' feature of Tweak-XP, choose the folder you want to change and click on the corresponding 'Change...' button. A 'Choose folder' dialog will be opened for you to choose the new location of the folder you want to change. Your new settings have to be saved by clicking the 'Save setting !' button.

ATTENTION: changing the location of a system folder might (but must not) cause serious problems to your Windows XP installation - especially when setting the location of any systemfolder to the root of a harddrive (such as c:\ or d:\). In somecases Windows XP does not accept a new location - in this case the original location will be displayed by any Windows application.

Please remember that you have to restart Windows to make the changes take effect.

Protect any folder on your harddrive and hide its content !

This new feature of Tweak-XP makes it easy to protect important files - just select a folder you would like to protect and Tweak-XP will hide all files inside that folder:

How it works:

When you use the folder protection for the very first time, you must specify an activation password (see screenshot above). This password will be required when you want to make a folder visible again. Don't forget it !
Click the 'Specify a folder to protect' button and select a folder in the 'Browse for folder' dialog that will appear.
When you folder has successfully been protected, Tweak-XP will display a message box.
When a folder was protected, the folder itself will still be visible, but not any file inside that folder.
Attention: you cannot protect the Windows folder !
Do NOT protect any folder that does contain any system related files which are required on Windows startup or to operate Windows. Protecting folders that do contain system files might crash Windows !

How to deactivate a protection:

If you want to deprotect a protected folder, enter your password and click the 'Specify a folder to unprotect' button.

Disable DOS Command prompt:

To ensure that nobody can access your protected folder(s) from DOS, you should disable the MS-DOS Command Prompt. For security reasons, the Windows registry editor will also be deactivated when checking the 'Disable DOS Command Prompt' checkbox.

ATTENTION:
Remember to unprotect any protected folder **BEFORE** the trial period of Tweak-XP expires !!!
