How do you password protect a folder? be simple please.

I was also trying to find out how to do this about a week ago :?

Right click on the folder > click sharing > check the box next to "Make this folder private"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guesing your using XP...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also if you use a password on your windows acount folders are auto protected from other users on your comp.

Right click on the folder > click sharing > check the box next to "Make this folder private"

Uh wait, I did that but it wont let me check the box, help?

You can only hide the Windows folder, you cannot put a password for access on it. You can accomplish this with 3rd-party software, but the likely result would be that your operating system will no longer boot.
