    Hi, I have 2 questions:

    1. is there a way to lock my computer, yet allow Bittorrent to run in the background ? I turned off standby's and hibernations and such, but I tried to just "switch users"... and leave it on that screen. but it seems after a certain period of time it will close my tasks.

    2. Is there a way to password protect my folders? I want to make it so that anytime im on the computer, even on my account, i have to type in a password to get into a specific folder.

    Thanks!
