Como atribuir password a uma pasta no xp?

[Zyon]

Boas

Gostava de saber como seria possivel atribuir uma password a uma pasta a minha escolha de maneira a ser eu a unica pessoa que lhe tem acesso e se é possivel fazer isto mesmo no XP ou se tenho de recorrer a outro programa para o fazer.

Antecipadamente obrigado

The newest version of TweakUI also enables you to show the Encrypt option in the context menu. To do this, follow the below steps.

Other security solutions for protecting your files and folders in Windows

File and folders not frequently used

If you need to password protect files and/or folders that you do not frequently use, one of the simplest ways is to compress the folder and files with a compression utility and password protect the compressed file. However, each time you wish to work or modify the files you will need to uncompress the files using the password.

Windows ME and Windows XP users - Microsoft Windows ME and Windows XP come with their own compression utility. This utility can also be used to compress and password protect files.

Tip: When a file is compressed, users can still view a listing of the files in the compressed file. If you wish for both your file names and the contents to be hidden, move all the files into a single folder and password protect that folder.   

File and folders frequently used or accessed

If you need to password protect and/or encrypt data you frequently use, you will need to install a third-party program that will enable you to protect your files and folders. Below are some free and commercial solutions.
AxCrypt - An excellent free encryption utility that enables users to encrypt all files within a folder and not allow those files to be viewed unless a passphrase (password) is known.
WinCry - A freeware utility that enables your files to be encrypted, secure deletion, as well as other helpful methods of protecting your files.
Folder Guard - A commercial version of a password protection software that enables you to password protect files, folders, and other Windows resources.
