How to encrypt a folder?

[Eric]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to encrypt a folder with 40-bit and
128- bit? Will any file store within this folder be encrypted automatically?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

You can see a nice tutorial if you click Start / Help, then
look for help on "Encrypt". If this is not sufficiently detailed
then type "Windows file encryption" in a Google search box.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT USE Windows' Encrypting File System
*until* you have read the following article at least 3 times all the way
through -- *especially* the section "Why you must back up your
certificates."

Believe it when it says, "Because there is no way to recover data that
has been encrypted with a corrupted or missing certificate, it is
critical that you back up the certificates and store them in a secure
location."

Good lord, what State or National Secrets are you protecting on your
computer that require you to encrypt the data? The normal home user
does not need this level of encryption, and using it is almost always
a recipe for disaster and complete/total loss of the encrypted data.
