i thought that making an encrypted disk image was the perfect answer for making a perfectly safe folder noone can look into..one problem......someone could easily just delete it to bother me. so what can i do to make sure that the folder cannot be deleted withought some sort of password or something? thanks....

This and your constant lolling gets seriously on my nerves. Please stop it.

Someone else already suggested the correct solution for this problem to you in another thread. Open the Keychain utility an turn on View->Show Status in Menubar. Then when you go to the toilet protect the screen from the "lock" thing in the menubar. Then nobody will have access to your account while you are away.

You can also select the disk image (or any other file) and in the Finder do File->Get Info and "lock" the file in the Get Info dialog. This will protect you from accidentally deleting the file.

i know, but what you dont understand is that i have a little brother who makes my life hell, and he can easily do "get info" on the file, unlock it, and then scrap it, im looking for a way to protect the file from being deleted (but just that one file, not the whole computer)

open terminal

"cp My_folder .My_folder"

that will make it invisiable

then

chmod a-w+x .My_folder

to make it undeletable

you can do this all after you put it in an encrypted disk image
