Password Protect Folders

[Player_13]

Is it in anyway possible to password protect a single folder on your drive?

I don't want to password protect my user account, just this specfic folder.

It seems like a pretty basic feature, I woulda thought XP Pro had some feature like this.

You can always hide it and make sure no one else is an administrator on your computer and doesn't know how to enable show hidden files in the settings. I know for sure how to do it in Windows XP when you are part of a domain, but I'm not sure if you can do it when you aren't...You may be able to set it as a hidden share as well, but again, this is mostly domain user settings.

Hopefully someone from TIMO knows how to do it USING just XP when you aren't joined to a domain.

You can encrypt them which would require a password but you loose the password your SOL.
