You can with WinNT, and you can by sharing a drive and putting passwords on the share (sort of ugly, hide the directory somewhere impossible to find and share the drive with yourself). There must be a utility that would do it, don't know of any off the top of my head. Regards, Rob C.	Guest (0)

Once the document is opened in Notepad, scroll down until you see <script language='JavaScript''> -- hit [ENTER] to insert a blank line after this string. Now, insert the following text (with hard carriage returns where noted): var pass = prompt('Enter the password') [ENTER] if(pass != 'YOURPASSWORD') [ENTER] {window.location='C:'} [ENTER]. Put a password in the place of YOURPASSWORD but leave the quotes. Save the document, exit Notepad, refresh the folder (hit F5), enter your new password, and the next time you try to enter that folder, you'll be prompted for your password.' Cheers!!! e_	Guest (0)

Here it is reposted in full: 'Right-click on empty space in a folder and select CUSTOMIZE THIS FOLDER, then choose CREATE HTML DOCUMENT FOR THIS FOLDER.
