What is your email. I'll send you a sample project.

The only way you can password-protect a folder using VB6 is if you're on Windows NT/2000 - you can use the EFS (Encrypting File System) calls to encrypt the folder for maximum protection, or just set the access privileges.
On 9x you need a separate device driver to handle it (c.f. Magic Folders) which is impossible from VB. Incidentally MF's interface was coded in VB...
