[RESOLVED] password protect a file

Is there a way to password protect a jpg file directly to the jpg file like when you open the jpg file it will ask for a password?

If this cannot be done, what is the other way to protect this jpg file?

It sound like not related to visual basic but later I am trying to automate the password protect this jpg file like
I will extract the image file from database, and password protect it programatically. That would be the steps.
