Using XP professional and my only hard drive is formated with the NTFS volumn. Please explain, step by step, how to encrypt 2 files so only I may have access. Do I need to start with entering my system with a password. Would preferr not to have to do this as I am the only user and am only encrypting 2 files. Is XP professional the best program to do this with or is there another that would greatly increase the unlikelyhood of these files being hacked by someone?Go to TrueCrypt.org and download latest version of True Crypt. This open source software will create a virtual encrypted volumes on your hard drive that looks and feels like real hard drive. During the creation of the virtual drive you assign a password/phrase that protects the data contained in it. The drive can be copied and/or emailed with no adverse effects to the drive. Don't be intimidated by the users manual, the up front section will step through the process to create
a virtual drive in no time. If you want to know more then you can
learn all there is to know later in the manual.
I have been using it for over a year with no loss of date. Using Windows encryption is very dependent upon account and passwords used during creation and does not have the flexibility that True crypt has.
