How to password protect a dir in explorer!

[NightWatcher]

Hi,
I would like to know how to password protect a directory only using explorer security.
What I want to do, is to only allow access to a dir (ex.

http://www.domain.com/dir/)

to one person, so when I type the URL to access it, a password dialog box pops up asking for credentials. How can this be done without having to recur to IIS, preferencially only using explorer directory security.

Thank you.

Hi!

In MMC of IIS slect the folder which you want to make password protected right click the folder->properties
->directory security ->edit->uncheck allow anonymous access
MMC = Microsoft management console
IIS= Internet Information Server.
Hope this will help iis_guru@yahoo.com

Yes, that will cause the authentication dialog to appear asking for credentials, and now all I done was to define a new user and only allow him to access that dir.

Thank you.
