Hello all, I'm running Windows XP and I just wanted to know if there was a way to password protect certain folders.
 
Yes you can...all you have to do is click on the folder and then click properties. Click on Advanced and then click on encrypt this file or something like that. After you click OK something should come up asking you if you want to encrypt it. Hope this helps.
 
I've tried this and it didn't work. It seems to only work for NTFS and not for FAT32. I have a FAT 32 so how would I go about doing this

You don't. At least not natively.

Either convert to NTFS or find a third party encryption application you
like.
