Hi there,

Any suggestions for a free program to set password for folders ? I don't those which encrypt the folder...just a simple password to be added to my folders...I googled but couldn't find any free stuff.

Many thanks :)
 
Password protection and encryption go hand in hand, and there are hundreds of free applications that do this.
 
Encryption is not the same as password. Encryption does that. It encrypts the information so that it can not be decoded easily. A password just protects a system but hte information can be easily read once the password is figured out.
 
Compressing files and folders using compression technology also encrypts the files. WinRAR does this.

I'll admit it. I don't get why someone would want to apply a password but not encryption. Further, it seems this is so crucial to the situation that it's worth paying money for an application that expressly states files will only be password protected and not encrypted. Paying more for less security.
