Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to password protect a single folder. I created a folder of different passwords I use "just in case" I forget them. If I can, I hope I don't forget the password ;P

I'm sure I have seen at least one program to do just that. Have you checked NoNags? Or maybe I saw it at Son of Spy Freeware...
Or there are programs for storing passwords. I used to have one named Password Safe.
For ultimate security, put the folder on a CD and take it with you...
Best Luck, Bob

At these forums, and others, a lot of time is spent on problems caused by Spyware and how to remove Spyware. If you're not careful at www.download.com you may end up with Spyware crap.
Quality freeware sites do *not* distribute Spyware. Here is a short list of reliable freeware sites that I would recommend to anyone:
NoNags OnlyFreeware FreewareHome Son of Spy Freeware
I doubt there are many true freeware titles at download.com that can't be found at these honorable sites.
Best Wishes, Bob
