Can you do this ?

[Peter1973]

I know its a bit off track but I have a lot of excel & word files which I can individualy password protect, however is it possible to create a folder and instead of protecting the individual files just protect the folder?

Hi Peter

There are various encryption programs that can create an encrypted volume on your hard-drive into which you can securely place files/folders. One such is available at www.truecrypt.org and it is freeware.

I was thinking of being able do do it on a work pc which is networked so i may not be accessing the folder from the same pc each time.

on a lan, network share permisions are usually set up IT admin. a workaround would be to stick folder contents in a zip, password protect the zip, then replace original folder wit the zip:
