| password protecting files and/or folders? I've got some personal files, ie passwords, quicken data, etc. that I would like to 'lock' with a password. Is there anyway to lock a folder/dir with a password or something? I know I can just logoff or activate the screensave, but I'd rather not have to do that. Call me lazy.

| Not right now... Apple hasn't implemented Folder Action Scripts OR Encryption via its encryption utility, so as it is, it doesn't seem like you can do it via the MacOS itself... I'm sure there are multiple utilities that do it though -- just go to www.versiontracker.com/macosx and search for "encrypt" or something like that.
