Here is a small scipt that I finally made after 3 days of frenetic searches in AppleScript! I just began learning this application 3 days ago… It might not be the best script ever, but it works fine and does exactly what I wanted it to do. If anyone can improve and enhance this script and make it better, please, let me know. To use it, I first placed it in the User's/Lib/Scripts and then, selecting the folder I want to aplly the scirpt to, I choose Attach a Folder Action and select the script. If you want to use it, you will have to put your own password, by opening the script first and change the "your password here" by your own. WHen the choosen Folder is launch by a double click (or otherwise), a window opens and asks for a password. IF the answer is right, it will open the Folder. Otherwise (Else) it will give you a message "Refused" and close the Folder. I you try to click on whatever there is in that Folder, nothing will happen until your answer que password question. Sorry for my bad English writing, I'm French… Thanks for your help and suggestions. Dan

Hi, I'm ashamed to say, as the author, that there is one obvious (hope that I had seen it before, obviously!) flaw in this script, which is the «Button Cancelled». If you click on it, the folder stays open and you can access it. So, I'll try to correct that soon. Meanwhile, I would appreciate any guidance to make this little AS, an efficient one. Not that I care about the credits for this evolving AS, but mainly, that I hope that it will be fully efficient and therefore, usefull. Thanks for sharing your contribution and knowledge! Dan
