Password protect individual folders
Is it possible to protect an individual folder with a password so nobody else can access the contents (but will still be able to use the rest of the computer). I want to hide a few private details like bank account log ins and passwords.
I'm using Windows 7 home premium 64 bitBe alert. The world needs lerts.

Hi Grezaldo,
Have a look at this link below:

Please read thoroughly. I'd hate to see you lock yourself out of your own folder.
Also, there are free tools to install that will help to achieve password protecting folders as well.
