Password Protected Folder?

[phil83]

Hello,
I have some files that I want to put in a folder and keep out access to it (so you can't see what files are there or try to view them). I want to do this so the only way to get in is by a password. Is there anyway to make this possible or be done individually with files or folders.

P.S. I know I could zip the folder but that takes to much work and on top of that I have to worry about deleting the unzipped file each time.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

In essence, use disk utility to create an encrypted disk image, store your files inside this. The disk image will require a password before it will mount and make your files available.
