Re: File Encryption - Laptop

Hi,

It's built in into Windows 2000: Right click on a folder, choose 
"Properties", click "Advanced", tick "Encrypt contents to secure data".

There are quite a few commercial utilities for encrypting disks, but you 
could check http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgpdisk/ for starters. Versions 
earlier than 6.5 are free.
