the folder is hkey_local machine_\system\wpa\
encryption key?
I already know that WiFi passwords are stored in encrypted format in this folder (one long address)
c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\
Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces
\[Interface Guid]
but an encrypted file doesn't do any good if I don't have an encryption key... Note that the value of "protected" is "true" so I KNOW my pass is encrypted in that xls file.
Please don't tell me to go to control panel or use any of the WIFI password programs because none of them work! And yes; I have checked out WirelessKeyView, the routers address [the security center part] and the Network Sharing Center!
Please improve upon this "answer!"

Set up in security settings of folder only your account, in this way you will be able to open your folder(s).

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.
