[SOLVED] Encrypting files

[Janders25]

Should I encrypt my own files? How can I encrypt files on my computer, so they are not visible for people that’s uses the computer and people on the internet? Maybe a password or I hidden folder or something like that could help me with this problem?

Files saved in the Libraries (Documents/Pictures/Videos) are not visible to other users on that system.
'people on the internet' can't get into your system, unless you do something really dumb.

7-ZIp allows easy encryption of folders/subfolders, protected by a password you specify, but, would require you to delete the unencrypted versions each time after using/accessing them.

AxCrypt would allow everything to be unlocked until you shutdown, or, choose to relock the encrypted folders, and, is easy enough to use...

If you have Windows 10 Pro, it has a feature you can use to encrypt folders.

Otherwise you have to use a third party tool.

And the question of "Should I " depends on your threat level.

Who are you protecting against?
