Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted. It encrypts with 256 bit AES which is used by the government for top secret documents so should satisify Medicare and the HIPAA law.
I also found axcrypt which is not what I wanted but looks like a very good program for quickly encrypting one file or one folder 'on the fly'. It integrates with explorer and is very handy. This is great to quickly encrypt a file to attach to an email and then send the password a different way: fax or tell over the phone. If you want to send 10 files (for example) you could zip them and then encrypt for a small secure package. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodney Dixon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <profox@leafe.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2006 2:04 PM Subject: RE: [NF] Folder encryption - need recommendations Closest that I can think of off the top of my head: http://www.truecrypt.org/ Regards Rodney > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of ken.com > Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2006 4:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [NF] Folder encryption - need recommendations > > I am looking for an encryption program that will encrypt folders on an > external drive like Maxtor OneTouch III (available 300gb at > Costco for $139).
