TICKET ARCHIVE -> Password Protecting a Single Folder

Hi there...

I was wondering if there is any way to password protect a single folder on my desktop to stop any random users from opening it.
i am running OSX Tiger.

Any advise will be appreciated,

Thanks
Asaf

You can change the Ownership and Persmissions on a folder in the Get Info box.

You can also use an Applescript attached to a Folder Action. Take a look here;
