    Lock Files


    Hi, I was wondering is there a way I can encrypt a file on windows so it can't be copied on other drives. If I put the encrypted file on an computer running Windows, MacOS, or ChromeOS or any other OS, it cannot be copied to other devices or drives unless you enter a password but, I still want the other computer to be able to execute it.For example, I want to give the file to a person using a Chromebook or Mac I want them to be able to execute the file, but if they try to move the file to another computer or hard drive including cloud sync services eg: Google Drive, Dropbox, One drive, etc.

    :)

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    Is there any software (freeware), that can "lock" a specific folder?

    I would do like Aquinus suggested and compress it and lock it using 7z or winRAR. If it's files that you don't plan to change, but if you do then use Truecrypt as others have suggested.
