password protect it so that they will have to ask

If they question why you have a password, say that you had to for compliance issues, which really is what you should do anyway.  I have my computer set up so that after 20 minutes of being idle, I have to reenter my password.  They really should ask before using it.  I feel that my work computer is for my use only, so I don't feel guilty about not sharing it.

Password protect the files in word (sm)

tools>security options or general options>password


That's what I'd suggest. 


How do you get a password?
Thanks for the ideas.  How do you go about getting a password in order to send the files via email?  I also downloaded the Streamload that was mentioned.  Looks like it is very easy to use.  Thank you all again. 
Protect ears where you can
I recently bought a new blow dryer that is louder than my old one. I have started putting cotton in my ears while blow drying, and it muffles the high, painful whine. I suddenly have more patience with styling my hair, so I guess it may have been bothering me before this, too, and I didn't realize why I could hardly wait to finish.
Thanks..unfortunately it won't accept password :(NM

You have done all you can to protect others, then. It's really horrible. I'm so sorry.

how do get rid of password protected -sm
computer.  I had it so a password needed to be entered on my PC but would like to change that now.  How do I do that? Thanks.
How to protect our jobs . . .
I learned that Focus Infomatics (transcription service) is an alliance of Nuance, the company who owns eScription and Dragon voice recognition programs. Apparently, Focus Infomatics sends a majority of their dictation to India, and the pay to MTs in the U.S. is below minimum wage. I think we should avoid working for Focus Informatics, as well as avoid attending or promoting the Career Step MT program. Career Step promotes and supports Focus Infomatics. This may be a small step in the right direction for MTs who deserve higher wages and to be treated with respect.
Well, I bet it's because CA has laws that protect
workers, so certain skeevy companies at least don't want to hire them because then they would (horrors) have to pay them when there is no work rather than pay them nothing while they sit waiting for work. That's just one of the protections we have here in CA. IMO
Obviously this isnt DQS because you cant get in without a password. You must be on C phone yet. On
DQS no way to document what they are up to because you cant get into anyone elses number.
Computer is now password protected...sm

Thanks for the advice!  I wish I could get a little better control of him - I have also told him computer = $$$.  He just feels he has to fix everything for some reason - ARGH!!!!!!  Oh well, the password should keep him off of my stuff - I wish it would be that easy for other things around the house!


Password-protected FTP sites are . . .
HIPAA compliant.  Are there any that do not require a password?  I have never encountered one.
Why I'm FOR unions: They protect the WORKER.

Cannot recall password for Windows :(

PC crashed so I pulled out the old PC from years ago.  But, I cannot recall my password.  Can I get around this somehow?  I am lost without my puter :(. 


Thanks!


You need to use your password to get in there and it is an internet based website that is why you
need to get set up if you dont have a password or just go to the website and follow along.
you can get your password reset, just call them and explain what you did.
I did this and they will just reset your password and you can download it again.

Also if you have a burner, you could try burning it onto a disc.
certainly going back to college doesn't protect from outsourcing..
one of the first things that went to India was accounting...
A little 3in1 oil or WD40 might help, too. But protect the floor/carpet underneath until the oil has

maybe it's just a pure and simple invasion of privacy the poster feels they want to protect.
if you do your job, who cares if poster was released from prison. weren't companies hiring prisoners to do MT anyway and weren't they doing credit card customer service?
Files are emailed with password protected zip file attachments done in Word...(sm)
So I could use OE and send this way and ask for a reciept. I love that idea....
Wrong. That is why you have virus protectection and anti-spyware. To protect 100% of the time.
:P
unions protect unions, not employees...sm
those days are gone. The unions got too big and too greedy. The concern of the union is the union, not the employee.
