How can I protect a file with a password?

Original title: password

Please, tell me how can I protect a file with password, folder, a CD, or a DVD. Is there a suitable and reliable and verified software? Please, give me web comments on sites where to find necessary software. I need in order if my CD or DVD discs will be stolen by a stranger or to reach people I did not trust. I need only for private use. You see, I don't have an iron safely to the place I live. I hope that you will understand me. Thank you in advance. John

Hello, Tommy Stanley. I realized from your questions that you can imagine that I will earn money selling the CD protected by word or DVD discs telling buyers the password. No, I'm not a sales man. Only for me on the extreme case, that my disks will be stolen or to reach people, I do not trust. I guess that to set a password that is easier then encrypt disks. But I wonder to know how to encrypt CD or DVD discs and that means encrypted drive. Through what she may be to read? Please, I explain my situation (I live in time with people that I don't have confidence). Please, give me some reliable advice concerning my question. Now, for me it very seriously. I hope you understood me. Thank you in advance, Shenan Stanley.

I think you read things in my simple questions that weren't there.  I asked because if it is stored on a single computer/use on one computer by one person - the solutions are simpler and more readily available than if you plan to send this information to someone else so that they treat.

I recommend you read this:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000705.htm

If this isn't a shared computer... (It is yours, you can use only.)

I suggest that you see if you can lock the computer closed (with a physical cable/lock).  You add a password to your system SETUP or BIOS so that no one can change the settings of operating system and maybe even a STARTUP password so it can not even start without enter you a password.  Also change the BIOS settings so that it will only start from the hard drive installed in the machine.  With the Setup/BIOS password, you can change back to something later.

AxCrypt and TrueCrypt are free and good encryption tools.

Regarding the CD/DVD - you don't encrypt the media - you encrypt everything you would write for them and you will probably need to copy off the power and check that the files on them are not read-only before you can decrypt in most cases.

By the way - physical security outweighs almost all other types of security.  Which means you need to physically secure the computer before you bothder same thing with another.  Locking the computer case closed and adding the password after changing startup opportunities, I would consider good physical security in your case.

  • How can I share my files with my friends?

    How can I share my files with my friends?

    I'm tempted to say "the same way you share small files" but I suspect that you are having some kind of problem you describe sharing of large files.  What file size do you start hving problems?  How do you share your files (email, messenger, via a network, whatever) and what is the EXACT name and version of the program that you are using?  This error message you get when you try to share a file too big (the EXACT, including all codes message)?

    One solution is to compress the files so that they are smaller in size.  This sometimes helps a lot and sometimes, does virtually nothing (especially according to the type of file) - but it's worth a try.

    Here are two articles on the implementation of compression in Vista right click: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65254-zip-file-support-restore.htmlandhttp://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93827-zip-file-compressed-folders.html. These articles should tell you how to activate and deactivate the compaction and reset the compression options in Vista.

    If you can not get Vista compression/decompression works correctly despite these instructions, you can simply try to download and install 7-Zip http://www.7-zip.org/ which provides essentially the same functionality in a free and easy to use program.  Many people use this program (or other similar) instead of Vista program for various reasons.

    Amother option with certain types of files is to convert other types of files which take less space (such as the conversion of a TIFF file in a JPG file).  It isn't exactly the same thing, but most of people it would be hard to notice the difference (and sometimes the difference is not visible to the naked eye or on a monitor).  To help here, we would need to know the types of files of these large files.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hi yaritzab46986362,

    If you purchased a plan from Pro to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, you need to use to protect the files.

    I guess what you have opened is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which is a free application to view and print PDF files.

    If If Acrobat Pro DC is not installed on your machine, you can download it here: Download Adobe Acrobat products. Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X

  • can I protect a profile with a password?

    Different users of my PC have created 3 different profiles. These profiles can be protected by 3 different passwords (e.g. when creating a profile) in order to ensure that each user can only access its own profile, but not the other 2?

    akribius

    You can use the word of past master + add-on ([ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/master-password]) to make the user to enter a password before the start of Firefox.

    Although primarily intended to improve the Firefox master password options, you can configure the key word of past + Add on to always request a password at startup of Firefox and if either cancelled or not entered correctly after a number of attempts, that he will leave the Firefox.

    This protection is pretty basic, that it keeps someone to copy data files from the protected profile in a new profile folder, allowing them access to the content of the protected profile.

  • How can I copy the file with my saved passwords before you reset my master password?

    Firefox has stopped recognizing my master password, so I need to change. I understand how to follow these instructions. But - I do not understand the directions for the backup of my name of user and password existing file. I don't know where to find him. Can someone explain to those of us with a little less knowledge?
    Thank you very much!

    If the files logins.json or signons.sqlite and signons3.txt are fit and have no errors then Firefox will ask the MP and display names and passwords in password manager.
    If this is not the case then best is start with fresh files and let Firefox create new files signons3.txt and logins.json.
    In this case, you will have to resave all passwords.

    You can try these commands in the Console browser (Firefox/tools > Web Developer):

    • Services.logins.getAllLogins () .length = > prints the number of readable connections only
    • Services.logins.countLogins ("", "", "") = > prints the number of connections, including connections not readable

    Toggle the devtools.chrome.enabled pref on the topic: config page to true to activate the command line in the browser console

  • How can I best configure files with external SSD?

    Hello

    I want to install an external SSD as boot on an iMac of 2012 drive, but I don't have enough space for all my files and documents.

    I plan on backup and by installation tasks and using the migration wizard to change apps and accounts internal users through the SSD from the HARD drive.

    The main question is my videos, pictures (including the photo library) and iMovie projects (and associated files), so I was planning on uncheck the video files and images in the for the corresponding user accounts migration wizard.

    My questions are:

    1. This sounds like a reasonable plan?

    2. what happens to the folders/files I leave on the drive HARD internal and how I "reconnect" them with the OS on the SSD? *

    * i.e. is there a new folder of videos or photos on the SSD and in the Finder, or Mac would automatically know they were still on the internal drive?

    Thank you

    Why not just get a larger SSD

  • If an illustrator file has links with spot colors, how can I create PDF files with process colors?

    My file has shades of tones that came with the linked logo, I could not find a way to convert those shades of colors quadri.

    I need to send PDF on a printer with only process colors, I know that the printer can choose to convert spot colors to process when printing with printer within Acrobat Panel, but since we do not print, we need to send files to print ready with process colors only.

    Is there a way or a script to make PDF file generated from Illustrator with process colors only?

    You could try object > flatten transparency and clear colors to preserve overprints and Spot.

    I set the preset high resolution and turn on the preview to see if something dramatic is going to happen.

    After that, you can check the file of color dot in the separations Preview Panel.

  • How can I delete a file named [Torrentreactor.to]

    000000

    We could use more information on the way in which the file came to be on your system and what program to assign you it.  In addition, it would be useful to know why you want to delete this file and where it is located (to see if we can learn more about it and its function and perhaps why, you find it difficult to do).  But I'll give a few suggestions based on certain assumptions that I'm going to do about the situation.  If you get error messages or the program starts to him alone without want you to do it, then please tell us that (and are exactly what that error messages and when the program starts).

    If it is part of a program that you no longer want, you need to uninstall the entire program rather than deleting its files (as suggested above by Bruce)- otherwise the pieces of the program will remain in your system files and in the register (and perhaps elsewhere) without good service (and be VERY difficult to find and safely remove later if you want to clean your machine).  If Vista uninstall does not work, try Revo to: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html , who sometimes works when Vista standard uninstall programs does not work.

    Maybe you do not have permissions or ownership to delete the file (you should receive error messages - if yes, what are they).  Here's how to fix that:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If it is an unknown file that you do not know how it got on your system and you are unable to delete in the normal way (which is I guess the case since you posted the question here), can carry by using one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

    I hope this helps.
