setting a password to folders ??

[Anthony_1892]

hey i have a 1tb external harddrive for music etc & porn :)

i wanna set it up that nobody else can access the file unless they use a password ????

some say use truecrypt but i have no idea

anybody else know how to do this , like if i gave it a loan to somebody they cant access it unless i give them the password ???

lost 57gb of music b4 because my younger brother deleted it to piss me off

why don,t you try accsess it with the password to see can you get in but unless he is a hacker i don,t think he can get through passwords:confused:

i cant put a password on the folder

if i could i wouldnt be here with the question :)

go with the truecrypt , its fairly straightforward,have only used it once myself on a memory stick and its simple enough

[Anthony_1892]

is true crypt free tho ??

i defo didnt pay for it anyway,does it say you do have to pay??? if thats the case i must have downloaded from rslinks, i shall check and let you know

[Anthony_1892]

ok cool

[MrsPepe]

sorry anthony, my memory stick came with a trial software(dmailer) hence why i couldnt remember paying for it:confused: ive had a search myself as mine is expiring soon and the only one that seems to be free at the min is truecrypt, my head is now wrecked(thank you very much),lol, as i just want a straightforward one. Il let you know if i come up with any other one:)

You can also hide folders,this may be an option.

[Anthony_1892]

anytime i hide folders i could still see em and open them

i have important files i take home from the job that id like to know that there locked away and password protected

[MrsPepe]

I got a free software but you need rar to extract it.rar download is available on this site in the top thread

http://rapidshare.com/files/31984854/Portable_Vault_v2.0.4.0.rar

copy and paste and download as free user.

use rar to extract it to your desktop and run it, the activation key is in text doc. put in your password and you can then decide what folders you want to drag into the vault for protection,
