Folder security

[PatrickP]

I know you can assign a password to a file, but is there a way to assign one
to an entire file. It would be a lot easier to be able to put sensitive
files in one password protected folder but it dioesn't appear there is a way
to do that.

Thank you

Hello,

You can password-enable a compressed folder. Right-click your
sensitive files, Send To > Compressed Folder. Give it a name and
complete the wizard. Then double-click on the compressed folder to
open it. All of your files should be displayed. From the File menu,
select Add Password. People will then be prompted to enter the
password when they attempt to open any file from that compressed
folder.

Hope that helps,
