[manny]

i was wondering if there was any way to password protect
a folder without compressing it and without having to
make new profiles. any help would be appreciated.

Manny;
You password your profile.
Also you need to be using NTFS and not FAT32 file system.
To check:
Open My Computer, Right click C drive, click Properties.
What does it say by "File System"?
To convert to NTFS:
