Windows folder protections

[gashead]

My computer is part of a network at work and certain files need to be accessed by only certain members of the network.
I know that individual files can be password protected in Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc. But is it possible to password protect or restrict access to a folder within windows?
The folder may contain text files, photos, excel spreadsheets and the like.

many thanks for any advice.

Go to windows explorer - select the folder - right-click - select Properties - Select Security Tab and give the necessary permissions

Talk to your IT guys, if you have any. They do this stuff all the time. They will need a list of the Windows logins for the people who need to see / use the folder.
