I want to lock my folder.

[himadri_sm]

Ok..so this is what i want- a software that can lock an entire folder. It shouldn't be like those common apps where we have to create a folder,keep stuff in it & then lock it.the software should be able to lock any already existing folder by right clicking it. And when i try to open the locked folder by double clicking or right clicking & choosing open it should ask for a password like winrar asks for locked archives. Is there any such software, preferably free?

I know 2 such softwares, none of them free.
1) Folderlock. It locks any folder that you want. It can also appear in context menu; just right click and lock the folder.
2) PC security. It can lock folders and even whole drives. Its options also appear in context menu.

But these softwares tend to have problems, use at your own risk.
