Is there a way to password > protect certain file folders in Vista Home Premium? Thanks. systems use permissions based on user account access instead. Passwording of folders is not supported unless you zip them. When you do (right click a folder, then "send to > compressed folder") and then open the zip file, you will find an option under file>"add a password". Otherwise, use third-party software. Google "password protect folders". Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |

Password protected access is one way. |
