Create an password-protected/encrypted folder from within VS

[virtualmaster]

Hi all.

I want to create a protected folder from within VS using a code to securely store a password file. I don't mind hoe it is secured, i just want it to be so that i can't simply go into the folder and open the file. It would be best if it was something short, like:

Dim password As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\Accounts\" + TextBox1.Text + "\" + "password.txt")
            password.Write(MaskedTextBox1.Text)
            password.Close()
pssword.secure(); 'or something like this.
