so the only way to view the folders contents would be with the system password??
Personally, I used disk utility to create and encrypted and password protected disk image. I then put my confidential documents inside that and ejected it. To get access, I have to enter a password to mount the disk image.
It's that simple It's taken from directions on Apple's site http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107333
To use the disk image:
1. Double click on the created .dmg file to mount the disk, this should require a password. Don't allow keychain access to this password or it will fill it in automatically and void the whole reason for having a password! Make sure the check box is not checked when the password entry dialogue appears.
2. Drop your file into the disk image.
3. Eject the disk image
Why not just make a new larger image and move the data across, then delete the old image when finished.
