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.

When you are ready to save your document, click on "save as," and then a window box will appear.  Click on the "tools" pull down menu in that window box, and then select "general options."  Here you will find a spot to put in a password for "password to open" and "password to modify."  Put a password in each box, and then hit enter.  (Do yourself a favor, and use the same password for each box.)  It will prompt you to enter the passwords again.  Then SAVE your document.  That's it.  Now no one will be able to either OPEN or LOOK at your document without the secret password.  (The other two prior answers are incorrect.)

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.

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)

If you are trying to restrict access to an image on your hard drive, you could always put it in a compressed folder and then add a password to the folder.

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
