hey,
      On further research on this i have found a website with a program to easly allow you to do this. http://www.folder-password-expert.com/

It is free for 30 days also. It is a overprice product for what it does at $40!!

Hope this helps

Do you think anything could be done to this, I can't see the names of what are protected. Don't you think this should be designed better? Sometimes I just need to disable one from the list and there is no way I can say which is which.

hey,
      yeh your completly right...i downloaded it yesterday when i found it and i knew what i wanted and that was just to have a right clikc opion to select password protect..then in a small windows box that you have to enter your desired pass and thats that. also when u want to get into the file i wanted it to ask you for a password and then let you in and keep the pass like that untill the next time you come along and decide you want in that folder!....i think they have tryed to hard with this!!

give your toughs
