Password in a folder in window xp.
The steps for protecting a folder with a password in the windows XP operating system are as indicated below. Note that in case you are using a single account for all users on that particular computer, then the process may be a bit different.
-
The first step will be to select the folder that you wish to encrypt.
-
And then you will right-click on the folder and then click on Properties.
-
You will then click on the Advanced button.
-
And then you will check the "Encrypt contents to secure data" option.
-
Once you have finished all that, you will then click Apply, and then Ok.
As simple as that, you will have protected your folder in windows XP with a password.
