[QUOTE="rubaiyat, post: 1627844, member: 240393"] But you asked for a [U]folder[/U] not a file. That is something Windows can't do either without doing what the Mac does, which is zip it and then apply a password to the zip file. btw IMO you are asking for trouble by encrypting your entire computer. When Apple applies encryption, that is a very strong encryption, and when you inevitably can't get back into it you'll be here begging us to give you a way to crack what you wanted nobody to be able to get at.
