This is a copy of a previous reply of mine. --- Steve

With ntfs there is no ability to set passwords on the folders themselves.
You can create user accounts that have passwords of course and then assign
appropriate permissions to users/groups for access to folder thereby
controlling access. Keep in mind that anyone in the administrators group can
give himself permissions to a folder that he does not have permissions to,
so it is important to give administrator membership to only a minimum amount
of totally trusted users. See the link below on ntfs permissions. It is for
XP but it mostly applies to W2K as well. --- Steve
