Password Protect Folders

Sorry Markus, this feature does not exist on Windows 9x. It exists on Windows NT and Windows 2000 on volumes which are formated with NTFS.

If you are interested in protecting your contents, you may try some encryption shareware like Kremlin.

You may also password protect your files when you zip them with Winzip.

I'd like to recommend you the PC-ENCRYPT.
All files in a folder can be encrypted into one secure file then decrypted back to the original file contents with a couple of mouse clicks.

If you have Zip Utility to zip the folder and then be able to apply a password to the specific folders.

I'd like to recommend a piece of FreeWare that I actually read about here at TechRepublic, and have installed and use: PowerDesk4. It' a Windows Explorer replacement, and including its other convienent functions, it gives you the ability to encrypt either at the folder level *or* at the file level. If you open the folder/file without entering the encryption password, all you get is gobble-de-gook; enter the right encryption password, and all is well. I've found it's a nice little product with alot of functionality (including the encryption tool).

Here's the link to the TechRepublic article where I first read about PowerDesk4: https://www.techrepublic.com/article.jhtml?src=search&id=r00220001214bot01.htm

Here's the link to the download site: khttp://www.ontrack.com/powerdesk/

I'd recommend the "Folder Guard" program:

It is *extremely* powerful and costs $50 only. Moreover, the authors have "Jr" version, which is free:
