Does anyone know of a way to password protect a folder in
windows xp? I'd like to know why microsoft doesnt include
this as a standard feature as I'm sure lots of people
would like to do it. Is there any way other than using a
3rd party prg? And if nnot, does anyone know of a free
program that does this? I already paid enough for my OS,
dont wanna pay more to secure it!
Thanks.

No, there is no way. Windows XP features EFS encryption for folder content
privacy - that is sufficient and provides the functionality that you're
asking for.

if you make users log in with their own accounts and disable simple file
sharing then each user will only have access to their own folders.
