Need password protected folder ?

Do you need to password protected your folder. There are several ways to do that but always remember (#1) there is no such thing as 100% protected file, try google for "password crack tools" and see what you get. (#2)Password protected folder can still be deleted. And (#3) never forget the password you have created.

1.Encrypt the selected folder you wish to protect.This is how to do it if you're using winxp professional with multiple account:

i. Select the folder to encrypt.
ii. Right-click the folder and click Properties.
iii. Click the Advanced button.
iv. Check "Encrypt contents to secure data" option.
v. Click Apply and then Ok.

Personally I just save my document in "mydocument" with password user account.

2.Compressed the file zip archive and password protected it. I use 7zip for this.

3.Use axcrypt, below is some of the features of axcrypt:

* Double-click to edit/view with any application.
* Automatic re-encryption after modification.
* Absolutely no user configuration necessary or possible before use.
* Open source under GNU General Public License.
* 7 languages in one executable distribution.
* Extensive command-line interface for scripting and programming.

4. Write your own batch code, you can go to gocoders blog for example.

5. Password protected your document / program using Saveit
