How to password protect folders in windows explorer?
RE: Password protection
Hi Agnieszka
To password protect a folder in windows do the following:
1. Select the folder you wish to encrypt.
2. Right-click the folder and click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced button.
4. Check "Encrypt contents to secure data" option.
5. Click Apply and then Ok.
However there is no such thing as a 100% protected file.
There are numerous tools, utilities, and instructions for how to break a lot of the encryption and passwords on files.
The steps listed above will protect your files from the majority of users who may encounter them.
If you're working with really sensitive data I suggest you get a commercial product for protecting your files and data.
Hope this helps
