d3bruts1d: why not? how else you can get files? NTFS crypts passworded folders and you need password to access it!

Why not? Any oen who has taken internet security courses knows how to by pass this type of thing. Espically that of the screensaver password.

 

 

I knew how to get passed that when i was 12.

mikeock: Mine main idea wasn't "Screensaver password", in fact I said "there good default option, when you stop screensaver it shows login screen again and after you log in all programms is still running" - I mean checkbox "On resume, display Welcome screen". Huh... <_<

 

:: How about NTFS folder securing? For now I got my old HDD with crypted My Documents. How I can get my files?

The physical layer vunerablity (wireless can be very secure if setup right) has little to do with the acessability of your data.

To really secure your data, from everyone, I would need to know more about how your dad intends to setup the network (stuff you shouldn't write here , even if you know it) I think Tim covered it best, make yourself sole admin for your computer, share only what you wish to share.

If whatever you are hiding is so bad (life/lifestyle threatening if discovered) you might have to consider if it's worth keeping.
