Re: password a folder??

You need to check with a Windows forum to see if there are any shortcuts,
but granting permissions is the way forwards.

Thanks, Graham. I must have been remembering incorrectly.

This issue involves a classroom setting where all students (on the
network) have permission to access the data drive. I thought I could
have each student's data folder password protected so that students
couldn't open each other's folders and "borrow" completed assignments.

You wouldn't have a quick and easy solution, would you? The only
thing I can think of now is to grant permissions student by student
to only their folder. Too bad there are lots of students and going
through them one at a time would be a lot of work.

You were never able to password protect folders from Word!
You can arrange permissions through the operating system

I thought I used to be able to password protect a folder, but I can
only seem to require a password on individual files. Am I missing a
way to require a password to open a folder??
