Is it possible to password protect a folder?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
No. Not really. The only thing that you can do is create an encrypted disk image and then move the folder into the disk image.

How do I create the encrypted disk image? Would that be like putting it on a thumb drive?
There are a number of third-party utilities you can use. You can also create an encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the info on the disc image.
See Espionage 3.0.4.

I just watched a movie called The Other Man.
Scene: Liam Neesan is perusing the desk top of his wife's MacBook Pro.
He tries to open a folder entitled, "Love"
An alert window with a locked padlock opens saying "This folder requires that you type your password"
It wasn't a disc image just an ordinary folder.
How did they do that?
