How do i place a password on a folder in my documents?

Question

i have a folder on my documents and i want to make it accesible only by a password

Answer 1

Just put pass on whole computer....if that isn;t what you want then download programs similar to Microsoft word, powerpoint..etc,

it's called openoffice and you get it at
openoffice.org
its free...when you save documents you automatically have the option to save via pass

Answer 2

You wouldn't set a password on the folder but you can set permissions (limit which users have access to the folder).

(assuming MS Windows)

Try right clicking the folder and selecting the "Sharing and Security" option. Go to the "Security" tab. From that interface you can specify which users have access to the object you right clicked on. Warning: please be sure to understand file access controls a bit before attempting to remove all permissions from a directory. You could potentially lock everyone out, including yourself.

Answer 3

right click on the folder name through explorer
click properties
select Sharing Tab
check Make Private
