Password protect floppy

[Barry]

How do you password protect a 3.5 floppy? I can get to
sharing, but I don't want that, I just want to password
protect the entire floppy. Can you help?
Thanks, Barry

Windows XP offers no provision to password-protect a floppy disk.
You may wish to visit www.google.com and perform a search for
a third-party program.

Greetings --

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.

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