How do you password protect the folders in your documents?

In my opinion, you need a tool. There are a lot of good password protection tools. You can search "password protect folder" or "lock folder" etc. to find a proper one for yourself. Usually there are two types of encryption methods: 1. Create one password for whole your disk and drag all folders and files to this disk to protect them. This only asks you to set one password for all of them. But if you want to set separate passwords to protect different folder or files, this kind of software will not help you. 2. Create one password for every folder. You can drag files to one folder and set a password for this folder. This will fix the above trouble, that you can set uniform password for different kinds of files. The disadvantage is you must remember a list of passwords.

How to lock folder using DOS command?

I am not aware of any way to lock access to a folder directly using command prompt, but there are alternative similar methods. There is an excellent post on the "Computer Tips From A Computer Guy" weblog, that details how to make a folder work as a link to the Control Panel (locked), or simply open and show the contents (unlocked). His method involves using a batch file to change windows reference to the folder. He also provides an alternative method using a 3rd party freeware application called Free Hide Folder, which hides the folder completely, the only way to restore it is open the application and provide a password.
