I assume you use Windows XP.\n\n1. Right click folder(s) that want to be secured.\n2. Click "Properties".\n3. In General tab, click "Anvanced".\n4. Give a checkmark at "Encrypt contents to secure data".\n5. Click "OK".\n\nThis is my humble opinion. There are another several ways to protect folder(s). You can also use software(s) made by 3rd parties. If these suggestions is good, would you please rate it? Thank you.\n\nGreetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.

You can use IPSec if over a network (be sure to disable weak encryption methods when configuring though).  Good backup software has encryption mechanisms.  \n\nCheck out some other links:\n\nhttp://www.ntfs.com/\nhttp://www.dekart.com/products/encryption/private_disk/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/encryptdata.mspx\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/encryption.htm\n\nGood luck!

Your file system needs to be in NTFS before you can encrypt.\nTo convert file system: Click START; RUN. In the box type "convert drive _ letter: /fs:ntfs/v"\n\nex if converting C: "convert C: /fs:ntfs/v" then click OK and follow instructions. Best to say no to first question & yes to second question ie convert on restart.\n\nIf you encrypt files remember to decrypt them if you format hard drive or keep the key safe or you will loose files.

You cannot.\n\nOnce a file is encrypted using EFS, the only way to see its contents is to log into the account of the user who has encrypted it. If this is not possible (e.g., because that user account has been deleted or because the computer on which it is, is not bootable) you can consider the encrypted file(s) lost. Note that even re-creating the user account with the same user name and password will not solve the problem.

I believe you need 128 bit encrypition for HIPAA but I never played with that program.  I have used PGP which is a great encryption program.  It has been around for years and is one of the first out there.  Its easy to use and does not really have any proplems.  You can download it at http://www.pgp.com  This is the program I would recomend and most of the fortune 500 security would recommend.

If you are talking about Microsoft Office files, you can set the password at:\nTools > Options > Security > Password to open\n\nIf you want to Secure contents of a whole folder, Right Click, go to Properties > Under General tabs attribute section select Advanced and click "Encrypt content to secure data". This uses your current windows credentials to encrypt and your data would be safe from others.

If it's encrypted with Windows EFS, the user that encrypted it will need to log on and open the file.  If anyone other than that user changed their password, such as an administrator, the file is lost.  EFS hasn't been reliably cracked.  Yet...

The email would have to be encrypted if sent normally, but would be okay if the files came over a VPN tunnel connection

you can either make one of these three things to protect your file:\n\n1. (the simplest) hide it and put it in a network of files and any place that is unlikely to be found\n\n2. encrypt its content using CyberCrypt for example. once encrypted, the file won't be able to show the content as it is.(applies to all formats)\n\n3. use Password Door or Folder Guard. they are what you need but reconsider the 1st 2 options before using such programs. once you've forgotten the password it's over unless you have a backup.

I would say you need to find the encryption key the same place you downloaded the file, cos encryptioon key can be anything. If not, what you can try is to find thos software that allows you to crack those keys.

If the folder/file is compressed(NOT Zipped) it will appear in Blue colour, and in Green when its Encypryted

I think that NTFS is a better choice because it has no any restriction one the size of a single file as the maximum size of the file in FAT32 is only 4gigs. The NTFS file system in security too. As far as I know one can't encrypt his file if it is FAT32. But the NTFS file systems is supported only by operating systems which are younger than Win2000.
