Hi,

to ensure that my files a secure.
All of my important files are located under c:\users\username\Documents
Filsystem is ntfs and 32 bit windows Vista
I want to prevent access to these files from other users who
- Can hack my windows password
- Boot up with ubuntu to access files on the disk
- can take my disk and connect to another computer as secondary drive
and ectract files.
Is there a way in windows i can use to encrypt my files soo nobody can
read these?
You forgot to tell us what version of Vista you have. Home versions do not
have the native EFS encryption. Besides, EFS is very tricksy and if you do
not follow all best practices and caution you can lose all your data. You
can zip your files and assign a password to the zipped archive. Or you can
look into using True Crypt (free).
