not possible

"Locking" directories is not something anyone should do. However, if you want to protect some files or directories with a password, you should encrypt them. I suggest looking up GPG and LUKS (you can make encrypted disk images or partitions and mount them to folders).

@jollailija i thought n950 wants to protect folders in launcher, not filesystem.

I use GnuPG. Cumbersome, but secure.

Yes in launcher desktop. Put a password when i try to open folder.

Wow, it turns out you were right, but how did you figure it out from just the thread title and the first post? Must be some magic :D

well, just some experience talking with users :D

Very true that. Most of the time users will tell you they need a thing and in fact it is completely different thing they really desire, they just did not have the right words for it or did not think it throughly enough.
That's why we have grooming sessions for :D

Tru dat. The most common fault description we hear is, "it doesn't work" ;)
