Password Protecting Specific Folders? - ZxSlippy191 - 12-31-2005
I'm stumped on this one, I wanna know how to Password Protect [without programs] specific files/folders on my computer.
Example: Say I wanna password protect a Folder in "My Music" called "Slipknot" and put the password "Duality" on it, How would I achieve that?

I believe you cannot password protect files unless you have a third party program to do so. On Windows XP Office/Home Edition you do have an option to make the folder private for only your log-on name.

You could either change the permissions so only the admin can view the files, or you could encrypt the files (Right-click the folder and click Properties, the go to the advanced tab, then choose Check "Encrypt contents to secure data" option). If you want something else tho, here are a few good programs that would also work:
AxCrypt
Folder Guard
WinCry
