    Password protect a zip-folder

    Hi
    DettePJ_7    ,

    You could set a password to a zip folder using a program like 7-Zip.

    • Download it from
      here       & install it
    • Select the folder that you want to protect with a password
    • Right-click on the folder > 7-Zip >
      Add to archive...
    • Insert the password that you'd like to apply under Encryption and click
      OK
    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Alby
