    Hey can anyone please tell me how to password protect your files. e.g. Word, .txt files.

    Any help would be welcomed..

    If you're running XP Professional (or Vista, not sure which versions), you can encrypt folders. In XP, you can right-click the file, click Properties, then Advanced, and there's an option for encryption.

    Also, you could make encrypted zip files. Get any compression program (such as WinZip), and make a new achieve, then select "Password" when adding files.

    You can also get a specific program for encryption. I personally use TrueCrypt, because of it's advanced encryption techniques, good security, and ease of use.

    Hope that helps.
