How to password protect a folder in the windows xp. I have a single logon. It isn't a shared computer but I need to protect some folders with passwords. Is there any option to deal with it. I know about "pcsecurity software" but I want to know the way that is by default in windows.
Thanks

Jump to PostYou could RAR it and protect the RAR file with a password !
He wants to use as a regular folder.... PW protected RAR files are great for archived content which is not regularly accessed... as a regular folder alternative - completely unsuitable!

Here's a simple (old-school advanced) Google search offering over a million results. Don't know what Windows version you are using, so easier to point you in the right direction and let you play a bit ;)
