You can also protect through shares and permissions, though to a guy like me, that would hardly be a bother to crack.
You can also protect through after market encrypted containers... Or a password protected compression files...
There are ways and ways.

Why doesn't WINDOWS have the select option when document is saved? It's ridiculous. :smokin:

Handy... but not really stopping anyone that knows anything - Which might be good. It will keep every day Joe out of your junk... but it won't cost much for me to crack it when you forget the password :laugh:
Except .arj . I have not looked in a while, but Jung's compression and password defied cracking. since hardly anyone uses it anymore, hard telling if anyone has bothered to continue trying to crack it. :shrug:

Yes, Win can encrypt files, folders, and drives.

Bitlocker is my bane. And anyone who uses it had better understand - if you forget, it's probably a brick.
