    Unfortunately, you can't do that with a folder, in Win98. All you can do is password protect each individual document that you create. I'm not sure if you can do it with graphic files, as I never tried that, but you can do it with Word, Works, and Excel documents.
    • Click on File > Save As...
      Click on Tools, in the Save dialog box (it's located at the top right).
      Click on General Options...
      Type in a password in the Password to modify box.
      Type in a password in the Password to open box.
      Click on the Save button.

    Hope this helps.

    I can't do that "save as" thing with Access database :(

    How do you setup a password for databases??

    I opted out of PowerPoint & Access at home on my Win XP Pro, but I did find some information with an Advanced Google Search - password protect "Access database":

    http://www.badblue.com/helpmdb.htm (the password information is down towards the bottom of the page).

    Hope this helps,

    I tried that badblue thing... but it can only set passwords on 'shared folders' :(

    PGP will do the trick... lets you password protect a new drive... drag all you want into the drive...
