Our organization has many confidential worksheets and it would be nice and
lot easier if we just put them in one Folder that can be protected with a
password.

In Windows NT-based operating systems, you have a far better option, which
is NTFS security. However, you haven't posted any information about your
operating system, and that is the most relevant thing (Office has nothing to
do with it). If you have Windows 9x/ME, there's no real security to speak
of, although you can password protect folders after a fashion. It's about as
secure as a wet paper bag.

I suggest you post in a group for your operating system & provide more
detail about your setup (network? standalone PC? domain or workgroup?)
