Password protect a folder

Rather than go through all these fancy keywallet type programmes I'd rather simply have my private info in a PDF format in a password protected folder. I'm presuming that if this is placed in the devices own memory it will be safe as in order to get access to it (in the event of the Axim being lost) it'll require a Hard reset, therefore losing all data. The protected folder is an additional protection adding to the log on password I already have. Anyone know how to create and manage such a folder?

I think you can password protect PDF file itself, assuming you have a full version of Acrobat.

The advantage of some of these "fancy keywallet type programmes" is that they have desktop counterparts which allow you to access and modify your encrypted data from both PDA and PC. It is very handy, really. The ability to sort/filter/categorize provided by these programs it most useful, too.

For all other kinds of encryption (confidential office files etc.) I use Resco Explorer.
