making a password

[bob-the-sheep]

excuse me does anyone know how to put a password on a normal file because i have tryed and tryed but still havent figured out how to.

[Dark Lord]

Try compressing the file (using some kind of archive) and then setting a password

[bob-the-sheep]

um do you know how i could do that

[Dark Lord]

It depends on what program you are using to create the archive, but anyway it should be in the options menu

[bob-the-sheep]

do you no how to do it without compressing anything because i still want to get in and out of it

[NorthViking]

use Winzip.

zip the file and put a password on.

[Deadlus]

Or winace & winrar.

[Bradius]

if you are using profiles and you are on a NTFS system, you can go to the properties of the folder/file and set the security level for each individual user.

but that means that people who log in awith your profile can access that.

there is a program that can set passwords and such to folders ect/ ive never used it but some say its ok www.softheap.com and security files
