Folder Password protection is usually very easy to crack; much better is encryption. Do a Google search on “TryeCrypt“it is freebie, you could donate some $ if you wish, I used them, you can encrypt folder on your HD and make it grows as its content grows, and/or you can encrypt entire volume like flash drive, very cool application and depending what encryption method you choose, virtually unbreakable, just do not forget password since as I mentioned it is unbreakable… Thanks!
