Hi everyone.

I want to password protect a folder on my computer. I know i can use FileVault to password protect my entire home user folders....but i just want to password protect 1 folder. How can i accomplish this goal?

Hi most will say to create a encrypted disk-image & don't keep the password in keychain!
Also this might help you KryptoSpace

Make an encrypted disk image via disk utility. That will make what ever you put inside of it encrypted, until you enter a password. Make sure to NOT select to save in you keychain. I make my images the same size as a CD, so I can burn it for backup...

Here are some steps for larrinski's DIY: "How to create a password-protected (encrypted) disk image"

Along with DarkStarRed's KryptoSpace suggestion, there is also: "Knox 1.5.3"
