Re: password a folder??

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??
