I am interested to read more and more from internet.
This increases my knowledge.
It helps me in my discussion and responses in mylot.
Sometimes I am not able to see the same website again when I am in need of it.May be
some hosting problems with those sites!
So I have decided to take down brief notes of what I have read in a notepad.
As I don't want the other people to see my notes,I want lock the folders with a password.
Can I lock the notepad documents?How do I do it?I am not a computer tech.Your step by step instructions will be highly appreciated.
Happy mylotting

Well, you find it in a program called "Folderlock". Easy to use, just set your password then choose the folder or file that you want to lock.

It would of been very useful to let us know what operating system that you are running.
One thing you can do is to get yourself a portable hard drive.
A small storage device, powered by USB and often comes with password protection.
I have one and is the handiest device I own. I love it!
Simply save your document notes to the removable drive. Done!
Here is a document giving details about this type of storage device.

There is another device called LockNote.

Failing that, here is a document that talks about

All in all, I feel that the portable storage device is the very best option.
Good Luck To You
