Hello,

can you password-protect a Notepad file?

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 6.0

    Thank you for this response,
    but I'm looking for a solution similar to what can be done in Word, for example. By going once into the file, then tools, then security, and choosing a password for opening the file, all without external software.
    I'm trying to do the same thing for a Notepad file but unfortunately without success.

    I hope I made myself understood,

    Thank you in advance.

      it's not possible, you have to look in external applications... notepad is too basic.

    And if I put this notepad file in a folder eventually, would it be possible to lock this folder in as simple a way as I'm looking for the file, without using external software?
    Hoping I have made myself understood.
