Password Folder Protection!

[Guest susan]

Dear all,

 

I have an important folder. I would like to protect it by using

password as password protection in word and excel files.

 

Anyone know how to do that?

 

I look forward to hearing from your help.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

 

Susan

You can't as such in XP without third-party software. Do you have a

password-protected User Account?

Zip the folder then open the zip file click on File - Add password.

Like WinNT and Win2K before it, WinXP's file security paradigm

doesn't rely on, or allow, the cumbersome method of password protection

for individual applications, files, or folders. Instead, it uses the

superior method of explicitly assigning file/folder permissions to

individual users and/or groups.

Of course, if you have WinXP Pro, you can encrypt the desired

files/folders.

As a crude work-around, you can place the file in a compressed

folder, and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its

contents. Also, some applications allow the user to password-protect

their specific data files. Read the specific application's Help files

for further information on this capability.
