Once again, it appears that Microsoft has taken something simple, and screwed it up. You can't password protect a zip archive like you could in Windows XP, at least from what I have seen. You can set permissions on files and folders however. If I were wanting to password a particular folder, I believe I would try a third -party application with a smoother interface. The easiest way to protect your files from the keyboard end, is to use a log-on password, and set up a guest account if you are going to let others on your system. I have a user log-on for all of my systems, and noone else is allowed on them. There should be some software on the website for file protection.
