    If you're using Windows XP, 2000 or NT with an NTFS file system, there's a very easy way of doing this.

    If you're not, instead of using some proprietary yoke, like the above, simply create a zipped file, with a long (> 10 characters) password, that's not easy to guess. Twould take a couple of hundred years to crack with a brute force algorithm.

    I suggest Wolfmother1 as a suitable password.
