How do I password protect folders in Windwos XP Professional?
I read on Microsoft's site a while back that you can password protect files and folders in XP Pro? Well, I just purchased it and I can't find a damn thing in the manual that talks about it.

Anyone here know how I can do this? Any info would be great. Thanks!

Right click your folder and click on Sharing and Security - there is a box to click to make the folder private.

If you can't click it - go to the bottom and click the help link to sharing and security - the full explanation (for the different types of networks) will show up there.

Without third party tools you cannot add passwords to specific folders. Folders are protected at the user account level.

Follow the link at the bottom - the HELP page comes up with explanations - depending on your type of network setup - follow the steps and voila....... You may want to take JC's suggestion on encrypting though.
