I'm using Windows 98 & wish to put a file on the desktop which can be password protected. I can not find anything in Win. 98 that will allow me to provide a password for only that desktop file. Can anyone offer a solution or suggestion?

What kind of "file"? Word and Excel files etc. can be password protected. Or are you trying to password protect a folder?

I suggest that you install Winzip and use it to encrypt the "zip file" that you will create and that way it will not matter what files are inside of it, and it will be passworded.

You can go to www.download.com and search for "password protect" to get at shareware available to accomplish this. There's a lot of software out there that will do this, but you need to pay for this utility (unless you want a lot of reminders to pop-up).

with Win98 I used GIZMOS98 it worked great for me, it will not work for anything newer (OS Verisons) but 98 and 95 works like a champ, you sohuld be able to find it out in any software store or used software store (since is an older program) I just saw it not loo long ago for a buck at a dollar store you can encrypt anyfiles with it, along with a few other features as well
