How to encrypt a folder?

[Guest Eric]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to encrypt a folder with 40-bit and

128- bit? Will any file store within this folder be encrypted automatically?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

You can see a nice tutorial if you click Start / Help, then

look for help on "Encrypt". If this is not sufficiently detailed

then type "Windows file encryption" in a Google search box.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT USE Windows' Encrypting File System

*until* you have read the following article at least 3 times all the way

through -- *especially* the section "Why you must back up your

certificates."

 

Believe it when it says, "Because there is no way to recover data that

has been encrypted with a corrupted or missing certificate, it is

critical that you back up the certificates and store them in a secure

location."
