Any way of passwording a folder ?

As title really,

using XP Pro (SP2)

Just wondered if I have a folder with various photos, documents etc in it, any way of adding a password to the entire folder to stop people looking inside it. I know you can password 'Word' Documents, but I want everything within a folder??

thanks

Have you thought about just using EFS? Assuming you use seperate user accounts and NTFS.

Use truecrypt. God knows why MS still haven't implemented password protected folders.

That would have been proper motivation to move over to Vista. There are folders that I'd like to protect in that way, and not e.g. cutting and pasting everything into another folder.
