Password Protecting a Directory

Here is my predicament. I have a directory that I do NOT want people to be able to access on my website. Is there a way to password protect this directory? I am running Abyss on Windows. I cannot, or if I can haven't figured out yet how to, use htaccess. From what I've read you can't unless you are running apache. I have been driving myself BONKERS trying to figure out how to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yup, htaccess is not for Abyss. Have a look at the user manual sections on Users/Groups and Access Control and see how you get on...

Create a user, then assign them to the directory you want to protect and set the user to be allowed access.
