Many Thanks xKate x :) You need to lock the 'admin" folder via your web hosts control panel [Not the same as the osC admin panel]. Go to the control panel of your web sites domain, often it is www.yoururl.com/cpanel or something like that, depends on your host company. Go to the file/folders premissions section. Choose the catalog/admin folder and set a login and password. This generate a password pop up box whenever you try to access your admin folder in the future. Note: sometimes you may be prompted to enter your login and password twice when logging in as the admin. It really is very simple to do and if you can't find the way to do it call your host company. Their tech support should be happy show you how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
