Hello, I thought there was a way to password protect a Folder within NTSF under Windows 2000. I can't seem to figure it out. If it's possible, could someone tell me how to do it. Thanks.

Assume that you are sharing your W2k PC with some one else and you have the Administrator rights of your W2k,
then it is no point password protecting your directory, simply alter the read and write permission of your directory.
In the "sharing" part, dun share it out, and in the "Security part", just add in your username. That's it.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.

Folder Guard helps you to keep sensitive files and folders safe and secure on your computer. It's highly
configurable and very easy to administer, with excellent documentation readily available. An Explorer-style
interface allows you to easily select folders to protect. You can choose to hide the contents of individual
folders, tag folders and contents as read-only, or render them unavailable and totally invisible. The
features work not only in Explorer, but also in any file dialog in other applications. The main program
is protected by an administrative password, and you can assign individual passwords to gain access to
protected folders. A separate program is included to let you quickly toggle the protection on and off.
