    I don't know what you "thing" is :-P
    but on XP pro, right click, properties, encrypt (I think)
    or a better solution, get a mac (or linux) :-P

    Zip file passwords are insanely insecure. If it's important data, check out TrueCrypt, but it's a bit over-featured for what you want to do.

    Check out http://www.nonags.com/nonags/security.html for some freeware ideas.

    yeah truecrypt is good. i use it. you can set a 2 passwords in 1 folder. the other password is a decoy which you can put a false data on the folder.
