MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Password Protection to open Outlook 2007?
I don't want unauthorized people opening my outlook and viewing my calendar, notes and email when I'm away from my desk. Is there anyway I can password protect outlook 2007 so nobody can open it without a passwork? Thanks for any help with this. you can password protect the pst - right click on the top level folder and choose properties, advanced.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] The "Advanced" button in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ folder does not allow one to password protect that folder in Win XP. >you can password protect the pst - right click on the top level folder and >choose properties, advanced. it does work in winxp, provided you use a pst and not an ost or exchange acct. If you use exchange, lock the screen when you walk away.
