Hi, I have been testing XP 2505 RC-1 for a day or so. I recently noticed the password protect folder option. I was wondering how to activate this feature. My boxes are grayed out. Is this a feature we can use or is it a feature to be implemented in the final release?

Please advise.

Thanks.

I have a question, did you install XP on FAT32 or NTFS, because when you install on FAT32 you lose a lot of protection options.
