Hi Peter, thanks for the reply.
I tried the Terminal option, after creating and placing a copy
elsewhere, and found it to be very effective and easy. Just what I
wanted in fact.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Take care.

The quickest an cheapest (i.e. free!) way is with the Terminal. Even if
the idea of using Terminal frightens you to death (as it does with a
lot of people) the following article makes it easy.

Hi I am wondering if anyone can suggest any application for an iMac
that will hide and password protect a folder?
I need one where I can access the folder regularly to update and
store
passwords etc, so using filevault and encryption and creating
copies is
to time consuming.
I previously had Apimac Secret Folder on an old Mac which did the
trick
but looking today they want $51.95 for it which seems a bit of a
rip
off for such a minor app.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Take care.
