Password protection for folders and picture files

[Doug]

Is it possible to password protect folders? How? Also can
individual picture files be password protected?
Thanks

Greetings --

WinXP's file security paradigm doesn't rely on, or allow, the
cumbersome method of password protection for individual files or
folders. Instead, it uses the superior method of explicitly assigning
file/folder permissions to individual users and/or groups.

As a work-around, you can place the file in a compressed folder,
and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents.
