HX1 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Toucan and PGP Portable are nice ... Toucan being a portable application you can get from PortableApps.com.. and PGP being a part of PGP Desktop ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted February 19, 2011 Administrator Share Posted February 19, 2011 Other way would be to just zip/rar the file and add a password. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anoop_1198 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 I use thishttps://sites.google...urefolders/HomeWould it keep the folders locked even if i connect the pendrive or portable harddrive on a different computer in which the program is not installed say cyber cafe computer ?zipping and adding password and then unzipping becomes too hectic for bigger files..it takes a lot of time..:frusty:Staff Note: Posts merged.
