File padlock answer

[Janset]

Hi all.

Just a quick question please. In My Document folder there are multiple folders covering various subjects as can be expected.

However, 2 of the foldesr have a small padlock on the lower left corner. One of the folders I created contains a internet download of an airline ticket for Jet Star. The other folder
which I also created contains all my music.

Why do these folders have a padlock and the other 20 folders do not? How did the padlocks get there?

Regards
