Tip

Before password protecting any document, you may want to create a backup of the non-password protected files and folder in case you forget the password in the future.

Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10 users

Unfortunately, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 do not provide any features for password protecting files or folders. You need to use a third-party software program to accomplish this.

If you want to encrypt a file or folder, this can be done by following these steps:

Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
Right-click the file or folder and select Properties.
On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
Check the box for the 'Encrypt contents to secure data' option, then click OK on both windows.

Note

If the 'Encrypt contents to secure data' option is not selectable or available, you likely have a Home edition of Windows, which does not support this feature. It is also possible that the hard drive where the files are located is not formatted as NTFS, which is a requirement.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional users

The steps below for encrypting the files on Windows XP Professional apply to users who are using a computer that has two or more accounts. If you are using a single account, see the other security solutions section.

Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
Right-click the file or folder and click Properties.
On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
Check 'Encrypt contents to secure data' option.
Click Apply and then OK.

Note

You won't be prompted to enter a password when encrypting a folder in Windows XP Professional. However, other user accounts on your computer will not have access to files contained in the encrypted folder.

Things to remember when encrypting or password protecting files and folders

Windows Vista Password Protect Files

There is no such thing as a 100% protected file. There are numerous tools, utilities, and instructions for how to break encryption and passwords on files. However, the protection methods listed above will protect your files from the majority of users who may encounter them. If you are working with really sensitive data, we suggest a commercial product for protecting your files and data.
Even though a file or folder may be password protected, it still can be deleted (unless the program supports the ability to protect files from being deleted). Always remember to backup all your files, even those protected by passwords.
If you forget the password, unless you're willing to spend the time attempting to break it or pay someone, all the protected data is lost. Thus, it's important to backup a copy of the non-password protected files or folders, just in case.
