Password protect Excel and Word FOLDERS (not just files)

I want to be able to protect an entire folder at once, rather than password
protecting every individual file

Hedges

This cannot be done through Excel or Word alone.

If running a Windows NT based OS like Windows XP you can use "permissions" to
lock folders.

See Start>Help on "permissions". Be careful when setting permissions. You
can lock yourself out of your computer if not done correctly.

Otherwise a third-party utility can be used.

Search the 'net for one of these.
