How to put the password to the folder

[degsy]

Welcome

I haven't used 98 for a while, but i'm pretty sure that you cannot have password protection on folders.

You could use a third-party password protection/encryption program.

password protection: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...ct+folder&meta=
encryption: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...pt+folder&meta=

Yes, I'm afraid only third party software is available to do what you require.
Now if you don't have little computer geeks running amuck on your computer, you could do something like this:
start/settings/folder options/view tick 'Show All Files.'
Now go to your folder in question (windows explorer) and right click on it and choose properties.
Now put a check in hidden. Apply and close windows explorer.
Now go back to folder options again as explained above and tick 'Do not Show Hidden Files'.
Open windows explorer and your folder shouldn't show up.
To have folder return again, just view and 'Show All Files' again.
Kinda funky but will work for the more casual user and most kids.
Good luck.

Protect files on Windows 98 and on OSs using the FAT file system: If you use Windows 98 or Windows 2000 with FAT rather than NTFS, you can use the free AxCrypt encryption program to protect your files. Browse to AxCrypt - AES-128 File Encryption, Compression to download a copy.

If there is a free way, someone here will find it or have been using it.
Why buy something you can get for free even though it may not have 100% of the functionality.
