Ever since I wrote a post about the new privacy features in orkut, Ive been getting many requests to write about how to do it. Many were asking how to protect their photos and videos. Personally I dont agree to locking up photos and videos and the procedure seemed too obvious. Now if anyone is still not able to figure it out here is the procedure.
Login to orkut and goto Settings and then click the Privacy tab. Now at the bottom you will see some thing like this.
Now I dont think I need to explain more.




i want lock our photo album and vedio
