How to password protect or encrypt Excel spreadsheets

How to set spreadsheet security in Excel 2002/2003

There is not something like an "encryption button" in Excel. On the other hand, encrypting Excel spreadsheets is just a few clicks away.

Security settings in Excel 2002/2003

The Security tab shows different security settings:
Open password
This password is used for spreadsheet encryption. This security feature is discussed in the next paragraph.
Modify password
This password is used for convenience when sharing spreadsheets. This password does *not* encrypt the spreadsheet and therefore does not add security. This modify password opens the Excel spreadsheet in an editable modus but prevents the original file from being overwritten. The modify password is stored within the Excel spreadsheet. There are tools available that can extract and remove this modify password.
Read-only recommended
This is a recommendation to the person opening the spreadsheet. On opening, Excel asks the user to choose read-only unless the user thinks that changes to the spreadsheet are necessary. It's just a recommendation, no security.

Create a TimeStamp Folder in windows - Batch script Backup

You can write a script to create a folder in Windows
Open the Command Prompt and type echo %date% to get todays date.

If we wanted to get the current year we can start 4 from the end, and 4 in length.

echo %date:~-4,4%

For the month we start with 7

echo %date:~-7,2%

For the day we start with 10

echo %date:~-10,2%

To create a backup using the batch script use this:

set TIMESTAMP=%DATE:~-10,2%-%DATE:~-7,2%-%DATE:~-4,4%

@echo TIMESTAMP=%TIMESTAMP%

xcopy C:\BACKUPS\*.* D:\BackupFolder\%TIMESTAMP%\ /e /i /y

This will copy everything on the folder Backups from C Drive to BackupFolder on D Drive with a time stamp folder.
