Answer» Can i protect my files on my COMPUTER with password or some other WAY. I don't want some other people to have access to themThe easiest way is to use an ARCHIVE tool, such as WinRAR, to put the files in a password protected archive.

You can use floppies, zip disks, cd/dvd rw, thumb drive, etc. If the file is not on the computer, it can't be accessed. |
