Default Password protect Excel and Word FOLDERS (not just files)

I want to be able to protect an entire folder at once, rather than password
protecting every individual file

Hedges

This cannot be done through Excel or Word alone.

If running a Windows NT based OS like Windows XP you can use "permissions" to
lock folders.

See StartHelp on "permissions". Be careful when setting permissions. You
can lock yourself out of your computer if not done correctly.

Otherwise a third-party utility can be used.

Search the 'net for one of these.
