Hi Krish. Have a look ata this.To Password protect a folder: . Right-click on empty space in a folder and select CUSTOMIZE THIS FOLDER, then choose CREATE HTML DOCUMENT FOR THIS FOLDER. Once the document is opened in Notepad, scroll down until you see -- hit [ENTER] to insert a blank line after this string. Now, insert the following text (with hard carriage returns where noted): var pass = prompt("Enter the password") [ENTER] if(pass != "YOURPASSWORD") [ENTER] {window.location="C:"} [ENTER]. Put a password in the place of YOURPASSWORD but leave the quotes. Save the document, exit Notepad, refresh the folder (hit F5), enter your new password, and the next time you try to enter that folder, you'll be prompted for your password
