Dear all,

I have an important folder. I would like to protect it by using
password as password protection in word and excel files.

Anyone know how to do that?

I look forward to hearing from your help.

Thanks in advance,


Susan

You can't as such in XP without third-party software. Do you have a
password-protected User Account?

Like WinNT and Win2K before it, WinXP's file security paradigm
doesn't rely on, or allow, the cumbersome method of password protection
for individual applications, files, or folders. Instead, it uses the
superior method of explicitly assigning file/folder permissions to
individual users and/or groups.

Of course, if you have WinXP Pro, you can encrypt the desired
files/folders.

As a crude work-around, you can place the file in a compressed
folder, and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents. Also, some applications allow the user to password-protect
their specific data files. Read the specific application's Help files
for further information on this capability.
