Is there anyway to save a document and lock it with a password so that no one can open it except you?

I share my comp with family and friends. I want to write things on a document for a journal. I would don't want anyone to have acess to this but me. Is there anyway I can save it so that no one can open it except me.

go to tools

security

password

(if you forget the password you can never open it again)

by the way i dont think you can put a password on a folder

Yes, there’s an option in MS Word to protect your document from others. Just open the word document which you want to protect from others. Now, go to 'Tools' menu, click on 'Options' then go to 'Security' tab, where you can get 2 options (1) Password to open and (2) Password to modify. From where you can protect your Word documents from others.

Thanks & Regards..

this is what to do, open a new “WinZip File” and store all your stuff in it and then set a password to open it, it works.

update :-

go start > programs > winzip then open a new archive then click save as then add all your files then click option and password and you’re all done and protected. hope this helps again.

EDIT:If you are using Word, it is pretty simple, open the document and click on tools/options/security and you can specify a password there.
