Does anyone know how to make certain folders secure/password protected? I
can't find anything.

Thanks Tony..
 
Hi,

You can't password them, but you can set permissions. See:

This will make the data inaccessible from other user profiles than
yours. Alternatively you can use a ZIP program like WinZIP to create
encrypted archives with your files.
 
Thanks for that chaps
