password a folder

[Douglas Courter]

Is there a way in XP Pro to password protect a folder?
What I want is to be able to save, copy or move files
into a password protected folder that will require the
password to open or delete anything in that folder.

Files and folders in XP are access controlled by use
of NTFS permissions which state what accounts can
and cannot do with the files and folders, including
having nothing granted to them (so they cannot do
anything with them).
