I assume you use Windows XP.\n\n1. Right click folder(s) that want to be secured.\n2. Click "Properties".\n3. In General tab, click "Anvanced".\n4. Give a checkmark at "Encrypt contents to secure data".\n5. Click "OK".\n\nThis is my humble opinion. There are another several ways to protect folder(s). You can also use software(s) made by 3rd parties. If these suggestions is good, would you please rate it? Thank you.\n\nGreetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.

by zipping up the folder (compressing it) you can password it. but the compression program built into windows xp does not give you that option. You need another compression program such as winzip, which can be found at winzip.com. it accomplishes the same thing as windows compressed folders does, but it give you more options, such as password protecting the  compressed folder (.zip file)

Make something like a new folder. When you right click a place to make new folder, click New Compressed Folder. When you make a New Compressed Folder, cut and paste the file in the New Compressed Folder. Then go to file and click Add a Password.

Follow these steps to require users to provide a valid Windows user name and password to access a folder in IIS 6.0:\n\n1. In IIS Manager, navigate to the folder that you want to password-protect, right-click the folder, and then click Properties.\n\n2. On the Directory Security tab, under Authentication Options, click Edit.\n\n3. Clear the Allow Anonymous Authentication check box.\n\n4. Select and configure one or more of the other authentication options.\n\nYou can also configure password protection for individual files within the folder.\n\nHope this helps.  Let me know if this is the best answer.

Yes, purchase a lock folder.  Search with your engine to find the lock folder that suits you the best.. Then you lock up the file an it is encrypted with the password that you assign.\n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

To set your my documents folder to private got to:  My computer on the start menu.  Click on your local hard drive usually c:.  Click on; c:&#92;Documents and Settings find your user ID and right click on it.  Click properties and select the sharing tab.  Make sure that the 'make this folder private box is checked.  This will make your entire user folder private including the My Documents folder.  This will only restrict Limited users from seeing your folders.  Administrator users can still open your folders.

I'd like something like that too, but I settle for AxCrypt (website below) - which is free, but encypts only FILES - not folders.\n\nWith it you can easily "encrypt" a bunch of files with a password, so noone can see anything (apart from the filenames) - then easily UNEncrypt them when u want.

if the t drive is on your local computer you can download a program that will enable windows to ask for a password when opening folders.  programs that do this can be found here: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tag=srch&qt=password+folder&tg=dl-20\n\nif the t drive is on the server, you can only allow or disallow users/groups to have access to a folder.  you can't make it prompt for a password.  to restrict access, you will have to make this change on the server.

you can do this in windows. You need to have a password on your windows account first. Then we need to know what version of windows you have, 95, 98, ME, XP Home, XP professional, Windows 2003 server etc. Because it differs a little to set it up. You can set each folder/file to have permission for you and any other specific user to access. No need to buy a program.\n\nDo you need this folder to be encrypted? Don't forget that if you encrypt and forget your password it is gone. Anyhow if you can answer those questions we can answer better for you.

The Windows operating system does not allow you to password-protect individual files. So, you have a couple of choices:\n\n- Password-protect your Windows user account, and make sure that you're the only administrator on the computer. You can do this through the "Users" item in your Windows Control Panel.\n\n- Get some software that lets you password-protect individual files. Examples:\n* Microsoft Office lets you password-protect files, but it isn't very secure. Password recovery software is readily available.\n* WinZip: http://www.winzip.com\n* PGP: http://www.pgp.com\n* A Google search for "password protect files" will turn up lots of software that can do this.\n\n- Store your files somewhere else besides your computer:\n* on a secure USB drive (for example, Lexar JumpDrive Secure, available on Amazon)\n* on an internet-accessible file server (for example, http://briefcase.yahoo.com)

Two proposal :\n1- On control panel click on User accounts and define an account yourself and activate password protection for it \nI should say if you are administrator of computer you can do this .Create another limited account for other members of family so they can not use your account at windows start up and they must choose limited account and as an administrator of computer you can save your files on adminstrator folder in documents and settings and your data \nwill be private .you must start your computer in safe mode and activate password for each account except limited acounts that you have created it before for family members.\n2- If your format is FAT32 you can not to encrypt your files or folders but if you format your hard drive as NTFS \nyou will be able to encrypt them.
