Password Protect a DRIVE in XP

Estochin · 06-11-2006

In earlier versions of Windows I was able, in my office network, to share a DRIVE (Not just a folder) and password protect it. In WIndows XP, I can't find a way to share an entire DRIVE and PASSWORD PROTECT it. Yes, I can share a folder in XP, but I need to share and protect a drive. Is there a way to do this?

I found a website on the web:
http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/?id=gc

I don't know how effective it is, because I have never used it before. However, it says on its website about its software:

Folder Lock is a fast file-security program that can password-protect.... any number of files, folders, drives, pictures and documents in seconds.
