Folder password software - Club CDFreaks

Sodom · 10-01-2007

Is there anything that would lock a folder, so when you double-click it, you have to enter a password to view it's content? And yes, I've searched Google all around and found almost nothing (except Folder Password Experts, which is 40 bucks...).

I don't need an encryption program. Just locking.

I think you can assign a password to a folder with WinZip or Win RAR.

you can also do it by righ click your folder and select properties, sharing tab and tick "make this folder private" you will be asked if you want to use a password, yes and follow instructions

Good call Bjproc, I totally forgot about that option in Windows.
