The first one is how do i password protect a folder?
the second one is, it says my safari beta is expired, i go to apple website and re-dl safari, and its expired, software update has nothing what do i do?
Damn those Apple software people and their TOTAL lack of irony! I mean, to actually call it "Empty Cache..." when that's what it does! Where's the innovation? Where the pizzaz?

What you can do for this is to turn the folder into a disk-image file (.dmg) that is encrypted and password protect that. When you have such a file, you click on it, enter the password you setup, and it will "mount" on your desktop as another volume. And if you like, you can choose to make it read-only as well.
Create a disk image with Disk Copy (in your Utilities folder) and put the folder in the disk image. When you create the image you have the option to require a password. This option encrypts the data so that it is safe from inspection by any normal means.
if you are in a multi-user environment, then you can change the permissions on the folder to only allow the owner (you) to touch them, and give no one else access. not exactly like what you want, i guess, but its something. to access the folder, a person would have to get your password, or root access. the disk image idea is probably better. i just thougth i'd throw this idea in.
I'm trying to remember OS 9 didn't have password prtection of folders but couldn't you encrypt files without having to use disk copy, wasn't it in the OS? Did this (if i'm not dreaming it up) make it in OS X?
Plus perhaps Apple ought to implement this feature in something like Keychain Access, because i'm sure there's call for it. I tried mucking about in there but there's nothing like setting up password protection for folders or files, it's simply only a store of passwords which can be password protected \
