  2. Can't encrypt or password protect folders?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you faced.
    I will certainly help you with this.

    The information which you have provided is not enough for us to determine the issue. Please provide us more information.

    • Are you logging-in using Administrator User account?
    • Is this issue specific to any particular folder or persist in all the folders?


    Encrypting File System (EFS) is a feature of Windows that you can use to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is the strongest protection that Windows provides to help you keep your information secure. I suggest you to try
    log-in through other Administrator account and perform the below given steps to encrypt the folder and check if it works:

    How to encrypt a file

    • Right-click (or tap and hold) a file or folder and select Properties.
    • Select the Advanced... button and select the Encrypt contents to secure data check box.
    • Select OK to close the Advanced Attributes window, select
      Apply, and then select OK.


    Please post back with the results and the information asked, we will be glad to assist you further.

    Thank you.

  3. Password protected folder/file in Windows 7 ?

    Simply

    I would like windows to ask for a password when ANYBODY opens up a "password protected folder" , nothing more. This is an epic fail for win7 to not have a native feature like this , ... workaround?


    -no freaking external programs
    -no encryption
    -not via policy settings (usless for network users)
    -the web is full of nooby-youtube videos and cheap 123 advert-sites which includes: external programs, zip arcihves, other useless stuff ... but there's some command prompt instructions which i didn't tried yet.


    The folder is shared on the network that's why is currently useless to use security policy.

    Unless you find a way to select other network users via security policy.

    I never found a way to link another PC with the user of another , the "locations" is always from local computer , that's stupid.

    There's also an option to "encrypt contents to secure data" ... that should automatically make a password protected , but it's totally useless , that's the password it takes from the user account passworld , plus , it's encrypting , it will take 22 hours to encrypt a 225 GB folder, which i need FAST accesss and not for archival.

    Private folders encrypted and password protected folders

    Im posting this because i've been looking for a free tool like this sense XP thought people should know about it *Toast :toast:

    Windows 7 when combined with Pismo get’s an incredible feature of creating password protected folders ( *.pfo ) which they call as Private Folders. It is just like any other folder to which you can add any folder and do any operation but not password protections just comes out of the box in Windows 7.

    Updated :

    To create a private folder, you need to make a right click, select new and then private folders
