Default Password protection of Folder

Sorry, no.

Even making a file "read-only" is akin to putting up a "No trespassing"
sign. Anybody can tear it down and march right in.

The real security is at the network permissions level and is implemented by
network admins. You might, however, ask for full-control rights on specific
folders. With those rights, you would have permission to determine who can
access the folders.

Does that help?

No way that I could do it myself, eh, Ron? Something like just adding a
"confidential/No access" property to the folder, just as we add a "read-only"
attribute to a file?

Thanks

Raj

Access to the folder will be dependent on the logged-in user. You'll need to
contact your network administrator with a list of the permissions you are
seeking.

Does that help?

Hi

This is not directly related to excel... I have a folder in a shared drive
that contains some excel files. I need to "password protect" this folder so
that no one else except me has access to this folder or even
read/write/copy/delete any files contained in it... not even a read-only is
allowed. Possible?

Thx

Raj
