Folder/file password help?

[the gamer]

Ok well I used to be able to know how to add passwords to files or folders before but now I can't seem to figure out how to put a password on an individual folder or an individual file. Can anyone help?

Btw I have WinRar but so far I can't seem to get any of the "defult passwords" to work. I can still get into the files or folders even if I make a "default password". Hopefully someone else can help on here :)

Come on there has to be some people who know how to do this?

I know its possible somehow, because I had passwords on some files and folders before. I just don't remember how to do it anymore. It seems whenever I post any questions I have on here or any other topics almost no one has an answer or post a reply. Well hopefully someone can help.

Still no one knows how to put passwords onto files or folders? I am pretty sure you can I have seen it a few times before, as well as I had done it before I just don't seem to remember and I was hopping someone on here would know.

I know there is probably a better way, buy for a while I've used a program called "AxCrypt" to keep my private files private.

I also know for things like Microsoft Office files you can add a password to open and/or modify in Tools>Options>Security.

Well I still don't know how else to get a password onto a folder or file. I tried looking though everything but I can't find a way to put passwords on individual files or folders. I know it is possible. I still have files that have passwords on them from when I did it before on my "WinRAR zip files."
