Password Protect Multiple Workbooks
 

Is it possible to password protect a group of workbooks? If not, can I
password protect an entire folder? I have many old workbooks that I'd like
to protect and the bottom line is I don't want to have to go into every
workbook and individually protect it one by one. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Windows will allow you to password protect a Zipfolder.

See Windows Help on "permissions".

You can prevent others from accessing your folder.

Can you give me more details on how this would work?

I couldn't do it any better than StartHelp and SupportPermissionsSet, view,
change or remove special permissions for files and folders.
