Hello! I am interested how to protect folders. I want to put password on folder. I have Windows XP.

You can't password protect folders in Windows XP without the use of a 3rd party tool (if one exists).

Also, some more information on your environment is needed.

Go to Start --> Run --> type in winver.exe and press enter.

A screen should pop up with the Windows XP logo on it. It'll either read Windows XP Home or Windows XP professional, which is it?

Where does this folder reside? On your desktop?

How many people use your computer and do they all have seperate log in accounts?

They'll have to have their own accounts and then you can use NTFS or SFS permissions to deny them access to that folder.
