Password protect a folder - recommendations?
hi Folks
Any  suggestions on how to password protect a folder? As far as I know - that is not native to Windows 7. Is it in Windows 8? If not, what software would you recommend? Was thinking of Winzip...but might be other suggestions here...

NTFS permission - Right click on the folder -> Properties-> Security,
and add user and rights
and add user and rights

@rigo - will try that. But essentially what it is doing is limiting other people's access to the folder (assuming it's on a workstation)...rather than password protecting that specific folder?
Am I correct?

The best way forward is to use NTFS permissions which are native to Windows.
Secure it that way and no additional items are required.
