Win. 2000 question

Does this OS (Win. 2000) offer the option of either encrypting folders or creating a password protected folder - my wife would like to do one of these on her work computer to store some personal info - if possible a short explanation (how to do it) would be appreciated - I'm not familiar with this OS - Thanks MG'ers

 

Best practices for the Encrypting File System

Remember to backup the encrypted files to a safe place, as the files are difficult(sometimes impossible) to recover when in a situation where Windows have to be reinstalled.

 

Another option that might work for her is with the WinZip. Zip the folder you want to protect and give it a password. Here is a link if you don't already have it, http://majorgeeks.com/download525.html
