    How to encrypt a file or folder on Win 7 Pro ?


    Is there a way to encrypt a file or folder on Win 7 Pro 64bit ? I would like to keep all my passwords and/or account logins for all my on line activity somewhere on the PC so I don't have to setup a new password/login every time I can't remember what password goes with what on-line account ?

    Running a personal home network with 2 Win 7 machines and 3 XP Pro (SP3) machines with a firewall and AV protection.

    Thanks...TRinAZ

    Windows 7 Pro only has EFS - Encrypting File System Manager Shortcut - Create

    Some free 3rd Party Encryption software - One I would recommend is True Crypt

    TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux
