Question Setting Up Passwords For Folders
Hi Guys,
I am currently backing up all my documents on our desktop onto an external hard drive. I would like to leave the external hard drive at a friends house and was wondering if I can set passwords on the files so no one can open them. There are only 2 folders on the external drive. One is my documents and the other is my wifes. Is it possible to set passwords on each of these? It is formatted NTFS and I'm running XP Home SP2.
Many thanks.

I can see on the internet that there are many programs out there but can you set a password in XP?
