Hi, Mike,

No, you can't protect folders in Win 98. You'll have to move to Win 2000 or
Win XP to get that feature.

This has nothing to do with Word or Excel. And yes, you can continue to use
Office 2000 apps on Win XP. (It's amazing how many people think one XP
requires the other -- not so.)

Thanks for the help - I ended up using a product called "Hide Folders" and
it works very simply - all I need at this point n time.
