How do I create a password protected folder on the company server?

Question

My boos wants a Password Protected folder to be setup on the server. The effect he's looking for is that everything put in that folder could only be opened by a password while it was in that folder.

Any clues on how I set this up? The system is running vista.

Answer 1

Right click, on the desktop or in a folder, on the white or vacant space. Go to "new", a new menu should show up next to it. Go to "Compressed (zipped) folder". Give the file a name.

Double-click the file, it will open up as a folder window

Drag any of the files you wish to protect into this window

Right click in this window on the white or vacant space, Go to "Add a password..." The password can be whatever you want it to be, but keep it easy to remember, but hard for hackers to guess.

Delete the private files that are anywhere else.

Answer 2

If the folder is password protected how will people put things in it.  Once people have the password, they can see anything in the folder.

Just making sure this is what you are after.
