Putting passwords on files

Can anyone help me?

I am need something where i can put passwords on my files?

ooh storm knows how to do it with word docs dunno about other files
zip's can be Pword protected

Word documents:
File - Save As - Options (to the right) - Password to open/modify 🙂

and for files it'll be something like "file ->properties ->sharing" or something

indeed cheers everyone

well whatcha know, I was right??

Those mechanisms suggested aren't very strong and can easily be cracked.

If you REALLY need something secure, then check out this page: http://www.gnupg.org/

raz, I doubt that someone in his family would really bother to hack into it

but than again *shrugs*
