I have that, it not only locks the folder it hides it as well ;), quality program.

You just open up the lock / password in and the locked - hidden folders pop up.

You could just right click the folder, go to properties and put a check in the read only box.

That would not stop you deleting it though. It would simply ask you if you are definately certain you want to delete it.
