SUMMARY
Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 98, and Windows 95 do not provide the ability to protect files or folders with passwords.



MORE INFORMATION
To protect a file or folder with a password in Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95, you must obtain and install a third-party password or security program. Note that some third-party compression tools such as WinZip and PKZIP also include password capabilities you can use when you create a compressed file.

The third-party products that are discussed in this article are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft. Microsoft makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding the performance or reliability of these products.
