Can I protect my folders by giving password without using any third party software

System OS i am working with Win2000 pro fessional and Win98
 
You can do it on Windows 2000 by using NTFS security, where the user would have to login with an appropriate username and password to gain access to it, this includes local logins.
Windows 98 can't do this on local disks without third party support, but if it were to access Win2K over a network, it would be subject to the same NTFS security restrictions.
 
Shilpag2 - Hi, if you crete a zip folder then you can password that without getting involved in a third party.
Let me know if you don't know how to do it.
