Put all the files in a zip file and password protect it.

Just hide the diskette so nobody can get access to it. :)

There is a program called STEALTH that does a pretty good encryption job. But as we all know a lock only keeps out an honest thief, right? I use STEALTH, but I was told by someone that is a simple 32bit encryption and he could crack into it in less than 2 minutes. That wasn't the point I had it. Every time I got on the computer my downloaded mail had been opened in the my documents section which meant someone was in my folder snooping, so now when I get off, I use STEALTH to encrypt my whole folder before I log off. It encrypts everything, files and images both. I have registry entries and script files in there and this encrypts it all. If you try and open it it looks like japaneese writing or something. And to try and access the pictures it says cannot read header. So just my 2 cents but that is what I use.
