How do you make a password to a map?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Max

Certain applications e.g. Microsoft Word etc allow you to individually
password protect a file.
You may also use file level security on your Windows XP PC (if you are using
the NTFS) filesystem where other users even if logged on cannot access the
folders or files.
Finally you could use a third party product such as WinZip to zip the files
up into an archive that requires a password to open them.

Simplest solution - learn about file permissions on the file system - unless
you are planning to move these files to other machines or send them to users
etc.

Are you asking if you can password-protect an individual file in
WinXP? If so, the answer is "Not exactly." WinXP's file security
paradigm doesn't rely on, or allow, the cumbersome method of password
protection for individual files or folders. Instead, it uses the
superior method of explicitly assigning file/folder permissions to
individual users and/or groups.

As a work-around, you can place the file in a compressed folder,
and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents.
