![]() If it's all the same to you, you can use ZIP archives, they encrypt contained files with a password. Though I must say, 7-Zip (it's free and open source) is much better for this. Using archives allows them to be portable, that may or may not be what you want. |

![]() I second TP's suggestion on TrueCrypt. It's really a good piece of software. |

![]() can truecrypt only hide drives? or can it also hide folders? i have a folder which i'm gonna back up on my external HDD but i dont want others to see or to open it. |

![]() It will encrypt and hide a folder that you specify. It will show the folder and contents as a drive when you run TrueCrypt. Once you exit TrueCrypt, the drive goes away. |
