Been looking through this forum for some help on password a folder and 7zip comes up quite a lot,Is this highly recommended?,Or would there be something else about.

Many Thanks.

Password protect a zip file with 7Zip
7-Zip is quite a good program and it's free. It allegedly uses a better encryption algorithm than either WinRAR and WinZip. It also has the feature of encrypting files name in the archive as well.
The article at the following link has information regarding, what appears to be, the demise of TrueCrypt;

Thanks both for your info.
Can I ask Britton 30 to explain this part to me Please.Thank You.David.It also has the feature of encrypting files name in the archive as well.
Here's what happens if you make a 7z files without encrypting files names and you double click it. The contents if the archive are shown but to open it a password is needed for each file.
When file names are encrypted and the 7z files is double clicked all that is shown is the prompt for a password.
