The "Help and Support Center" on my (Dell) computer directs me to right-click
on a folder or file in Windows explorer, then click on properties, and then
select the Security tab in order to set permissions. Well, there is no
security tab. (I am not on any network; is that relevant.)
This is my basic problem: I have created a folder containing a number of
identical blank Excel spreadsheets, each on protected by a password, so that
individual users, on a shared machine, may open their individual files and
work with their copy of the spreadsheet. What I want to guarantee is that
none of these users can delete the folder or any of the files. (This would
seem to be a Windows issue, not an Excel issue.) How do I do that? The
Excel password protection protects against anyone OPENING a file without the
password, but it does not protect against anyone deleting one or all of the
files.
