text: password on folder? password on a personal folder? i just want a make password on folder in winxp without useing any third party software. is it possible or not. if yes tell me plz. i know it with win98, it is just a dos command. what is the procedure in winxp. tell me in detail. faisal awan faisalawan81@yahoo.com yea if you create a compressed folder, then place the normal folder in it you can add a password to it. open the compressed folder-  go to file on top and select (add password).  after that you can open the folder but cannot open the files within the folder without the password...be sure to delete the original folder because when you add a folder to a compressed folder the original stays where it was and a "copy" goes into the compressed folder
