Not *anything* AFAIK. There are a few file formats that can be encrytped and not broken (except by "Brute Force" methods - so keep the password length >>8 and not a real word) Acrobat files (when a password is needed to *open*) WinZip files WinRar files There may be others - also 1024 bit Encrypted NTFS drives I think are still secure (so always back up the key!!!) All MS products Word, Excel, are easy to crack.
