I like this suggestion. There is also another way you might want to go
about this. If you have set up your computer so that any other user has
to
go on as a guest, then you can restrict their access by doing the
following...
1. Select the folder
2. Press ALT + ENTER to open the Properties Dialog
3. Press CTRL + TAB until you hear the Security Tab/Page
4. Arrow to the group or username you wish to add the security to
5. Then TAB to the Permissions list, go to the Deny column, and check the
limitations you want to deny others (such as Read, or Write, or Full
Control).
Hope this helps, Mark

Hi Vicki,
Yes, this is possible, depending on which version of Windows you are
using.
In Windows XP Home, do the following:
1. Select the folder you wish to protect, then press Alt + F, for the file
menu, and then, N, for send to, and press enter.
2. By default, the first item in the list, will be compressed zip folder,
so
you just press enter on that.
3. After the compression is complete, select the new zip folder, and press
enter to open it.
4. Inside you will find a folder with the same name as the zip folder,
press
enter to open it.
5. In this folder, you will see your files, and here is where the password
protection comes in.
6. With no files selected, go to the file menu, and arrow to, add a
password, and press enter.
7. In the resulting dialogue, follow the prompts to create your password.
You are done.
Note:
If you add additional files to this folder, it will be necessary to change
the password to protect the additional files.
This can easily be done by returning to the file menyu,while in the
folder,
and selecting, remove password, and following the prompts,
and then adding a password again as described above.
Anyone can open this folder, and view the list of files, but cannot read
them without the password.
Caution:
Even though this folder is password protected, it can still be deleted.
HTH,

Subject: [JAWS-Users] folders question
I know there's a way to put a password on a document file, but is it
possible to put a password on a folder? I'm using XP on my computer.
Thanks.
