For those of you who are concerned about security and do not want others viewing the contents of your compressed folder, rest assured there is a way that you can secure them. To increase security, you can assign a password to a compressed folder. This way any user that wants to view the contents must first supply the correct password.
You can assign a password to a compressed folder using the following steps:
- Open Windows Explorer and My Computer.
- Locate the compressed folder you want to assign a password to.
- Double click the compressed folder to open it.
- From the File menu click Add a password.
- Type in the password twice and click OK.

This feature no longer exists in Windows Vista - any suggestions for an equivalent method?
