My flat mate just bought a PC, with XP, and all the regular shat.

My question is, if I create a folder on there, basically somewhere to store my information, how can I password it (protect it).

Cheers

Killa

The password needs to be set whilst creating the rar file.

It takes about 10 seconds to break ZIP passwords using freely available programs on the net.

Use PGP virtual disk (in PGP desktop) or one of the free alternatives - TrueCrypt / CrossCrypt / FreeOTFE to create a virtual disk that you use to store your data.
