    password-requiring dialogue doesn't appear when opening protected files in a zip folder


    Hi,I was sent a password-protected zip file, and I have the password.I can open the zip folder without any problem, but not the files inside. When I click on one, a message like this appears:"Windows cannot complete the extraction.The destination file could not be created."and no password-requiring window appears, and I can't extract them either. I tried to include a screenshot but it won't upload : The files are extremely important to be accessed ASAP, but I don't know how I can access them. Please Help!The OS is windows 11.

    :)

    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

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
