I sent an email to Microsoft about password protecting a folder/file. Their response was that it could not be done unless running NT. Windows 2000, XP, and Vista will not password lock and encrypt folders.

However, they said that I could compress the folder, or zip it, and add a password on the compressed or zipped file so it could only be decompressed or unzipped via the password.

I haven't tried this yet, but I will later on.

Going to check out that link, Cat.
