Password protecting a folder

[Glenn]

Hi,
I have a folder that I would like to prevent anyone else
but me from accessing. How can I set up a password or
something like that on the one folder alone?

Many thanks in advance,
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

The folder needs to be under your local profile, and you need to be using
NTFS to prevent access to others. Read:
