How to: Password Protect a CD? - GoFuckYourself.com

Is there a way to password protect a CD-ROM that I've put an autorun html file on, as a photo gallery? Any thoughts?

Not without encrypting the contents, which will be a pain in the ass to setup and keep clean and easy to use.

use a setup program and add a cd key which at the time of install will ask the user for the key and if it's wrong it'll abort install

rebuild it using flash or director.... not totally fool-proof but you can embed the images into either... (flash would probably be simpler)

Basically I want to give a CD to a friend, but I have to mail it to her parent's house, and she doesn't want her parents popping the CD in by mistake and finding... certain unmentionables.

So we're not worried about it getting cracked, here.

make a zip file and password protect it and put that on the cd.
