Does anyone know of a way to simply encrypt a folder with a password, without hiding the folder??
I dont want to have to mount or dismount a volume, or unlock a folder everytime i want to access it. I want the folder on my desktop, viewable, just with a password when someone tries to enter it.
I have looked around the web but can't find anything(free) that fits. Very frustrating.
Working on Windows7 64 bit.
Anything??
The only way I could think of is to password a zipped folder placed on the desktop. Anything else is a lot of hassle for not much gain.
Take a look at TrueCrypt
Main features:
Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.
Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
