If you have Winzip or other similar compressing programs, just right click and select Archive or compress or similar, depending on the program.

I lazy to install Winrar, Winzip, PowerArchiver to show how. The steps are longer...

The help files of these applications will show how to do it.

For 7-zip users, just right click the folder and select Add to archive.

A new window will open.

In the password area, type in your password.

Click OK.
