Hi guys

I have a rather simple question. Is there a free full version app that I can use to password protect only certain folder with its content. The files is local and I only have one account.

Any advice is appreciated.

Regards
Sids

Hi
Thanks for the information. It appears that I'll have to install another application in order to password protect my folders. As for my Office files I can set a password. Meaning that before one can open and or modify the file they'll have to supply a password.

To do so open the file (word, excel etc) click on safe as> click on the tools tab> Click on General Options> Provide a Password in the open space and safe the file.

This is the password you'll have to supply when you reopen the Document the next time.

Cheers
