How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista

How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista?

Hello

You cannot use the password to protect the files in Windows Vista. However, you can encrypt the file.

Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the appropriate encryption key to decrypt it.

  • How to put pictures as wallpaper with lightroom on windows vista?

    I wonder if there is an easy way to put a picture as wallpaper using lightroom (like picasa)?

    There is not a built-in feature of "set as desktop" as Picasa has, but it is not difficult.

    I created a predefined export called "export paper painted," which scales the images on my screen size (1920 x 1200) and records them in the folder where I put all my wallpaper images ("Public images" in my case, Windows 7).  So I select one or several images in LR and choose Export-> Export for wallpaper.

    Then just use the normal Windows features to select your background screen images.  In Windows 7, I usually use the shortcut with the right button-> personalize or you can use the control panel. (Also note that Windows 7 allows you to select several images as wallpaper, and it will run through them like a slide show - nice!)

  • 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 Sherrie l.,

    Send Adobe is the current solution to Adobe for sending large files. (This is Adobe SendNow who retires soon.) Can you tell us what you were running by using Adobe send?

    It is not a special version of Zip for Acrobat files, but you could reduce the size of the PDF file if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > compressed (zipped) folder.

    Best,
