Protect a folder and files?

[Jim Bassett]

Is there a way to protect a folder and it's files or to protect files directly such that the contents of that folder and it's files cannot be opened, or copied unless one had a password, etc.? We still want to be able to access the folder and it's files from an application that is aware of the protection, the password, etc.

on NTFS file systems you can set permissions by user or groups for folders and files. programs would have to be executed with administrative privledges to access the folders and files.
