I add them to a rar or zip file with a password on them.
Note. Rar file passwords cannot be easily retieved.
ummm yeah but it aint reallly wat i want. i dont particularly want the hassle of unzipping them, thnx though
That method works fine for small text files and the like but as soon as you have wait longer than an instance for the fils to unzip it becomes annoying. Good tip though. :)Quote:

Something like this? http://www.softstack.com/hff.html
oooo looks promising. the main use is to password some files i have. thnx
Blowfish Advanced CS is good - also get wipe functionality. Check it out at http://www.lassekolb.info/bfacs.htm or google for BFACS.
I would recommend against this tool as it could give a false sense of security.Quote:

Rootkit Revealer shows you the files & folders as discrepancies.
If you happen to have a process accessing a hidden folder and then enable the lock, the files contained within the folder are still accessible.
But worst of all, booting from another OS reveals the files, completely accessible as the driver isn't loaded.
You are much better off encrypting the files on the disk rather than trying to hide them - either with Windows EFS, PGP, a password-protected zip file or some other method.
