| 1368138 | 2014-02-20 01:42:00 | Hi there. Any suggestions for easy to use folder encryption. Just to encrypt some existing folders, preferably also hiding the contents. Something that simply asks for a password before allowing any access to folders . Just to hide docs, pdf etc from prying eyes, encryption level doesnt need to be high. Truecypt looks easy to setup, are there other options anyonne recommends, that perhaps gives (say) a right click option to encrypt an existing folder, rather than moving to a virtual drive that has to be manually mounted ? Cheers |

| 1368139 | 2014-02-20 01:52:00 | Does windows built in encryption fit the bill? I suspect you'd need to use seperate user logins for it to work though. windows.microsoft.com Or you could try these options www.howtogeek.com Or just store those dodgy pictures somewhere else. |

| 1368141 | 2014-02-20 03:45:00 | Truecrypt for sure! :) I will second that! It is very easy to set up and very secure. You can name your encrypted container with a cryptic name and no file extension, just drag the file onto a TrueCrypt shortcut in the same folder to open it. When you mount and unlock the container, it appears as another Drive, you can save files directly into it from any Programs as if it is saving to a normal drive. |
