Do you want to password
protect your folder? Do
you want to make it
invisible so that it remains
unnoticed by the normal
users? Well here is a way
to do that. In this post I
will show you how to
make a password
protected folder in
Windows without using
any additional software.
Here is is step by step
procedure to create a
password protected
folder.
How to create
a Password Protected
Folder
Step-1: Create a new
folder (Right-click -> New
-> Folder) and give it any
name of your choice. For
instance I name it as ABC.
Step-6: Now goto the File
menu and select the
option Add a password.
ie: File -> Add a
password
Now a small window will
pop up and here you can
set your desired password.
Once the password is set,
the folder will ask for the
password every time it is
opened. Thus you have
now created the password
protected folder.
Step-3: In order to unhide
this folder go to My
Computer >Tools ->
Folder options. Switch to
View tab, scroll down and
under Hidden files and
folders youll see the
following two options
Do not show hidden files
and folders
Show hidden files and
folders
Now select the second
option and press OK. Now
the invisible folder
becomes visible in it s
location. To access it you
need the password. To
make it invisible again
repeat step -1 through
step-3 and select the first
option and click OK. Now
the folder becomes
invisible once again.
