| I am not sure if this is possible. I have one folder that contains some private documents that I don't want anyone to see. I am usually only the one who uses this computer. Is there any way that I could create a password for this folder. I would only be able to access this folder if I had a password. Please let me know if this is possible. |

Are others on your computer using your login? If not then you can allow only your login to have access to that folder. you could just let others use the guest account (on windows xp). |

| You could use an encryption tool or make a Zip file with a password. Zip file passwords can be legally cracked though. |
