Does anyone know what are the pro's and con's of using
passwords on folders? Also, does NT/windows 2000 allow
you to use passwords on folders?

I'm pretty sure using restrictions (Read, Write, Admin,
etc...) is the proper way to procedure but I would like
some insight on using passwords on folders if possible.

Thank you.
