Securing a Personal Folders File
If you’re not using Outlook as a client for Exchange Server or if you aren’t storing your
Outlook items on the Exchange Server computer, you must be using a Personal Folders file.
You can secure your Personal Folders file with a password to make it more difficult for othersto open that file without your permission.
To create a password for your Personal Folders file, use the following steps:
1. Right-click the top-level folder in your Personal Folders file (usually named Personal
Folders) and choose Properties.
2. Click the Advanced button to display the Personal Folders dialog box
3. Click the Change Password button to display the dialog box
4. If you previously had a password on the Personal Folders file, enter it in the Old
Password text box.
5. Enter your new password in both the New Password and Verify Password text boxes.
6. If you want to save the password so that you don’t have to enter it every time you open
your file, check the box marked Save This Password in Your Password List.
7. Click OK to save your password and click OK again to exit the Personal Folders
dialog box.
8. The next time you start Outlook, you’ll be presented with the Personal Folders
Password dialog box. Enter your password and click OK to access your Personal Folders file.
Note: This steps can be followed for Windows Xp and Windows 7
