I want to restrict who can access my home PC and in particular the folder
that containsmy word and excel doc/ xls files.
How can I do this ??
Do I HAVE to set up seperate user profiles in a ? netwok - is there a simple
way to not let others into my documents - password or such?

you didn't say what OS you have but there is lots of
free/shareware available that allows you to password
protect folders.

however, why not protect the documents from within word
and excel (Tools menu, then Protection) - have a play and
you should be able to work out how to password protect them
 
Thaks Andy - an oversight - I have OS win98se - I have tried within Word but
dont seem to able to do the password thing on FOLDERS only on individual
documents. Is this correct or have I beendoing something wrong.
Regards Mike
