How do I password protect my files and folders in Windows?

How do I password protect my files and folders in Windows?

Because most versions of Windows do not include a method of password protecting your files and folders, this page provides steps for encrypting files and folders instead. To password protect your files and folders in Windows, you need to use a third-party program.

Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10 users

Unfortunately, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 do not provide any features for password protecting files or folders. You need to use a third-party software program to accomplish this.

If you want to encrypt a file or folder, this can be done by following these steps:

• Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
• Right-click the file or folder and select Properties.
• On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
• Check the box for the "Encrypt contents to secure data" option, then click OK on both windows.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional users

The steps below for encrypting the files on Windows XP Professional apply to users who are using a computer that has two or more accounts. If you are using a single account, see the other security solutions section.

• Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
• Right-click the file or folder and click Properties.
• On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
• Check the "Encrypt contents to secure data" option.
• Click Apply and then OK.

Encrypt contents to secure data is grayed out

If you are using the Home edition of Microsoft Windows XP, see the Windows XP Home steps.

Show "Encrypt" on the context menu

The newest version of TweakUI also enables you to show the Encrypt option in the context menu. To do this, follow the steps below.

• Open TweakUI.
• In the TweakUI window, select Explorer.
• In the right side of the window under Settings, locate Show 'Encrypt' on the context menu and check the box. This option should be below Prefix 'shortcut to' on new shortcuts and above Show 'View workgroup computers' in NetPlaces.
• I'm missing "Show 'Encrypt' on the context menu" in TweakUI.

Microsoft Windows XP Home users

• Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
• Right-click the file or folder and click Properties.
• Click the Sharing tab.
• Check the box Make this folder private.
• Click Apply and then OK.

Make this folder private is grayed out

For this option to work on Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you must meet the below requirements.

• The hard drive must be formatted in NTFS and not FAT32 File System.
• The folder you are attempting to encrypt is your personal folder. For example, if your name is Bob, you must encrypt the following folder or a folder within it:

          C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\

• You cannot encrypt any folders outside of this folder. If you want to encrypt folders outside of this folder, see the other security solutions section below.

Other security solutions for protecting your files and folders in Windows

1. File and folders not frequently used - An easy way to password protect files is to create an archive of the files using a compression tool. When the archive is created, you can encrypt the contents by specifying a password.
2. Windows ME and Windows XP users - Windows ME and Windows XP come with their own compression utility. This utility can also be used to compress and password-protect files.
3. Windows Vista and Windows 7 users - Windows Vista and Windows 7 also include a compression utility. However, password protection for the compressed files is not possible without the use of a third-party software program.

Tip

When a file is compressed, users can still view a listing of the files in the compressed file. If you want both your file names and the contents to be hidden, move all the files into a single folder and password protect that folder.

File and folders frequently used or accessed

If you need to password protect or encrypt data you frequently use, you need to install a third-party program that allows you to protect your files and folders. Below are some free and commercial solutions.

• 7-Zip - A free file and folder zipping utility, which also includes the ability to password-protect zipped files and folders.
• AxCrypt - An excellent free encryption utility that enables users to encrypt all files within a folder and not allow those files to be viewed unless a passphrase (password) is known.
• Folder Guard - A commercial version of a password protection software that enables you to password-protect files, folders, and other Windows resources.
• Protected Folder- For a small fee, it's an excellent software program that enables you to password protect folders.

Things to remember when encrypting or password protecting files and folders

• There is no such thing as a 100% protected file. There are numerous tools, utilities, and instructions for how to break encryption and passwords on files. However, the protection methods listed above will protect your files from the majority of users who may encounter them. If you are working with really sensitive data, we suggest a commercial product for protecting your files and data.
• Even though a file or folder may be password protected, it still can be deleted (unless the program supports the ability to protect files from being deleted). Always remember to back up all your files, even those protected by passwords.
• If you forget the password, unless you're willing to spend the time attempting to break it or pay someone else to break the password, all the data in the file or folder will be lost. Thus, it is important to back up a copy of the non-password protected files or folders, just in case.

How To Boot Ubuntu From A USB Flash Drive

 How To Boot Ubuntu From A USB Flash Drive

Below are the three methods, that can be adopted to boot Ubuntu OS from a USB Flash Drive!

Option 1: Boot Ubuntu as a Live CD from a USB Flash Drive

Use this option to install Ubuntu as a Live Install, which allows you to boot from the USB flash drive in Ubuntu, experience the Linux environment but will not retain any changes or settings after you shut down. This is a great way to get a feel for the OS, test some of it's capabilities as well as typical hardware compatibility.

Programs you may need to download:

1. Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD ISO is available at ubuntu.com.
2. Universal USB Installer available at pendrivelinux.com.

What you will need:

1. Computer Running Windows XP/Vista/7.
2. Fat32 Formatted USB 2.0 Flash Drive, at least 1GB.
3. PC with a Bios that can boot from USB.

Now with all of the necessary components in place, we can begin to set up our Ubuntu Live USB Drive,

1. Run the Universal USB Installer by Pendrivelinux.com that you downloaded earlier.
2. Choose Ubuntu 9.10/10.04.1 Desktop i386.
3. Select the Ubuntu Live CD that you downloaded earlier.
4. Choose your Flash Drive.
5. In this instance, we are going to leave the persistence option unchecked.

This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the speed of your system. At one point the progress bar will freeze until it is done, and this is the lengthiest wait of the process.

Once complete, you can reboot your computer with the USB flash drive in the USB port, press F12 for the Boot Menu and choose the removable media to boot from and you are in.

As this is a Live USB, any changes you make to the Ubuntu environment will not persist through a reboot. This is because running in this mode, Ubuntu uses available RAM in place of Swap and Hard Disk space. This option also contains the install files needed to install Ubuntu directly to your desktop if you should so desire.


Option 2: Boot Ubuntu as a Live CD with Persistence from a USB Flash Drive

This option will install Ubuntu Linux onto your flash drive with an area for persistent storage. You will be able to restart the computer, boot back into the Linux environment and all settings or changes made previously will persist.

Note: This option is particularly hard on Flash Memory, as there can be quite a bit of reading and writing to the Flash Memory.

What you will need:

1. Computer Running Windows XP/Vista/7.
2. Fat32 Formatted USB 2.0 Flash Drive, at least 2GB.
3. PC with a Bios that can boot from USB.

Now with all of the necessary components in place, we can begin to set up our Ubuntu Live USB Drive,

1. Run the Universal USB Installer by Pendrivelinux.com that you downloaded earlier.
2. Choose Ubuntu 9.10/10.04.1 Desktop i386.
3. Select the Ubuntu Live CD that you downloaded earlier.
4. Choose your Flash Drive.
5. Select the Persistence Option of 1GB Casper-RW.

This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the speed of your system. At one point the progress bar will freeze until it is done, and this is the lengthiest wait of the process.

Once complete, you can reboot your computer with the USB flash drive in the USB port, press F12 for the Boot Menu and choose the removable media to boot from and you are in.

As this is a Live USB with Persistence, any changes you make to the Ubuntu environment will keep through a reboot. This option also contains the install files needed to install Ubuntu directly to your desktop if you should so desire.


Option 3: Install Ubuntu directly to a USB flash drive

This option works by installing Ubuntu to the flash drive like a complete installation. It does not retain the installation files to install on another system. This will allow you to use Ubuntu exactly as if it were installed alone on the hard disk. You can boot from it with any computer that can boot from a USB flash drive.

Note: This method requires that you disable your hard drive in BIOS to prevent overwriting your current operating system and force the install onto the USB drive.

What you will need:

1. USB 2.0 Flash Drive, at least 4GB.
2. PC with a BIOS that can boot from USB.
3. Blank CD.
4. A Computer with the ability to Burn CD/DVD.

Now with all of the necessary components in place, we can begin the process,

1. First, you will need to burn your Ubuntu ISO to CD using a program like ImgBurn available at ImgBurn.com.
2. Boot your computer and press F2 to enter the system BIOS. Within here you will want to disable your Hard Drive. If this is not an option in your BIOS, I would suggest shutting down your computer and unplugging the power and data cables from your hard drive before proceeding. Note: If you choose not to disable your hard drive, you run the risk of installing Ubuntu on top of your current OS and can lose valuable information.
3. After you have disabled your hard drive, place the Ubuntu Live CD into your computer and boot from this.
4. At the initial boot screen, choose to try Ubuntu, not install.
5. Once Ubuntu loads, plug in the desired flash drive into the computer.
6. Now, double click on the Install Ubuntu icon that appears on the desktop.
7. The first 3 screens are language, time zone, and keyboard layout.
8. Now Ubuntu will notify you that there is a disk mounted, and asks to unmount it. This is your flash drive. Give it permission to unmount.
9. This is the prepare disk space screen. I chose to leave mine at default and let the installer handle the partitions needed by Linux.
10. Now you will see the login and user information screen.
11. Now you are ready to install, click install.
12. At one point during the installation, you may notice a skip button appear on the bottom left. This is to skip the auto-update, and finally the language packs. I chose to skip the language packs update.
13. This may take a while, mine took about 35 minutes to complete. When it is done, eject the disk and shut down the computer. Plug your hard drive back in if necessary, or boot your computer into bios and re-enable it. Reboot your computer and press F12 to enter the boot menu, choose the flash drive and boot into Ubuntu.

New Shutdown Trick With Countdown

New Shutdown Trick With Countdown

• Open RUN by pressing window+ r
• Then type there “shutdown -s -t 3600" without quotes and press ENTER. 
• Now you’ll see a box telling you that “your system is shutting down”. 
• You cannot stop this count down by task manager and by any other method. within one minute your system will restart. 

If you want not shut your pc then follow the below steps:

1. Immediately got to run and type “shutdown -a” or “shutdown /a” without quotes and press enter. 
2. This will stop the count down.
3. You may vary the time. here 3600 is for 1 minute. you may set the time to 1 second also but you cannot stop this within 1 second so increase it!

TRICK 2

Many a time people like to sleep on music, but the problem is that the comp will continue running the whole night. Here is how you can create a countdown timer to shutdown your comp in your specified time.

Go running in the start menu and input this command
    

shutdown -s -t 3600

this will create a countdown timer that will go off in 3600 seconds (1 Hour). you can replace the 3600 to any time limit you want the comp to shut down, but remember the time should always be expressed in seconds i.e if u want the comp to shutdown in Half an hour you have to write 1800 and so on...

If you are as lazy as me and don't want to input the command each time, then create a batch file or shortcut

Batch:
open a notepad and type

shutdown -s -t 3600

now in the files menu select "save as" and save this file as Activate.bat

Just double-clicking this file will activate your timer

Shortcut:
On the desktop right-click and create a new shortcut. in the location type

shutdown -s -t 3600

Give it any name like "Activate timer"
Again, double-clicking this newly created shortcut will do the same.

FORCING THE SHUTDOWN:

another operator that you can use with this command is -f. this will force a shutdown on the system. suppose you want the comp to shut down as quickly as possible you can give a command

shutdown -s -f -t 00

here we have used a -f operator and the delay is set to 0 seconds.

(as we are talking about the quick shutdown, u can use the command
c:windowssystem32tsshutdn.exe 00 /POWERDOWN /DELAY:00 also)

STOPPING THE TIMER:
Any time when you want to stop the running timer use a -an operator(standing for abort)

the command is

shutdown -a 

You can use it in any way u prefer, like direct input in the run (or command prompt), create a .bat file or create a shortcut on the desktop

SOME OTHER OPTIONS:

shutdown -r (restarting)
shutdown -r -t 3600 (timer for restarting in 1 hour)
shutdown -r -f -t 00 (quick reboot)
