I want to limit acess to a ceratain folder. I have tried
Hiding but I need more security. Also, Zipping and then
adding a password is not safe. The Zipped Folder Can Be
Deleted. Originals must be kept unprotected. Is there
anyway I can keep my folder and put a secure pass lock on
it without additional software?
 
Use NTFS permissions to control what
accounts can access and in what ways (like
read but not write/delete). All accounts not
granted any access will have no access.

WinXP's file security paradigm doesn't rely on, or allow, the
cumbersome method of password protection for individual files or
folders. Instead, it uses the superior method of explicitly assigning
file/folder permissions to individual users and/or groups.

As a work-around, you can place the file in a compressed folder,
and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents.
