	Here's some software that you can use: http://www.safehousesoftware.com/SafeHouseExplorer.aspx - have to pay to get the version that encrypts an external hard drive http://www.truecrypt.org/ (what I use) - free open source software that easily encrypts an external device or files on your computer __________________ The first law of thermodynamics is you do NOT talk about thermodynamics.

	Also standard file and folder compression programs (pkzip, winrar, etc) have a password option. Not too convienent if you want to regurlarly use and modify the files in the folder however (additionally large size files can take a bit of time to compress and uncompress), but still a viable (and free) option. __________________ jack of all trades
