Does there exist any software for setting password for folders so that it can't be opened without givin pwd

Answer 1

i read about the fingerprint password thing that sounds like it would work for you, in XP Pro you can encrypt folders, it is builtin to the windows software

Answer 2

You can make your folders compressed (.zipped) with Windows XP and password protect them.
Just right clk the folder and choose: Send To / Compressed File. Clk the option for password and delete the original folder. To open the new protected folder, just dbl clk it and enter the password. When you close it, it will still be password protected.
There may be software out there but I don't know of any.
Good luck.
