I am not entirely sure if this topic belongs to this forum section so I apologies if it doesnt.
I have notepad text files where I store passwords and I would like to keep them secure some how, is there anyway to encrypt a folder? Any one wouldn't mind sharing how they store their passwords nice and neat in safe place? Thanks

I suggest that you use your brain, it's the safest way I know :)
And are u telling us that u have all your passwords on poor notepad files :( I never used any app to store passwords but a quick Google search will give you some, and to directly answer your question I do not know any way to password protect notepad files and if I did it would be useless if your files aren't encrypted properly :)

There's about a million ways to do this. If you want something really simple(and not that secure) you can google "password protecting a folder" and you will find all sorts of batch scripts and such to achieve that. If you want something still simple, but a little more heavy duty, you can use truecrypt(if you trust it).
Otherwise if you are using linux you should look up cryptoloop, EcryptFS, EncFS, and so forth. There's countless options.
EDIT: If all you are trying to do is safely store passwords, then I recommend KeepassX. Look it up.

Thank you very detailed and well answered. Appreciate your time, instead of telling me to google.

I also recommend KeePass. Being a password manager, not only does it encrypt the database file, but it has organisation capabilities like password expiry, groups, credential history, and a bunch of other really useful things. Just make sure to back up the database often (don't want to lose it, do you?) and use a strong master password.

I too recommend keepas. It also has an android port of it called keepassdroid which I use frequently and it uses same db so its even better.
