[closed] Any good software to password protect folders in Windows 8?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was some good software to password protect folders in Windows 8? I found lots of software, but I just didn't feel like any of it was completely safe.

Does anyone know some good software to password protect?

Thanks in advance!

Depending on the version of Windows 8 you are running you could use BitLocker.

Comes built into the Pro and Enterpirse versions of Windows 8.

0	You could hide the folder. answered Jan 16 at 17:10 Mikeysal12 51●1●3●4 that is not password protecting it, and anyone who is snooping around will be able to see it in a heart beat. (Jan 17 at 15:35) trueb

0	TrueCrypt... not technically a folder but will mount a container file (like a zip) as a drive... answered Jan 16 at 19:41 trueb 14.9k●49●99●256
