Thanks, I find this really odd that there's no way to
password the folder itself, when working at Microsoft
using Win2k I was able to password protect certain folders
and can't remember how to do it...senility sucks at
times..grins. Thanks for the info, I know how to protect
the folder if I zip them but don't want to zip it, just
keep it passworded.
