I use Encrypter Pro with dropbox. &nbsp;It's nice because there is a phone version and a Windows version, so I can use a keyboard when I'm at my desk and then access it from my phone when I'm away.
</div>


<div>
apologies for the delay, will take a look at this onthe weekend.
</div>


<div>
I couldnt get this to work. &nbsp;I think I'm having problems with the basics of TC.
</div>


<div>
Thanks I'll give it a try. &nbsp;The files that I want to put into a truecrypt folder or lock, are not themselves password protected, but a few maybe....not sure if that answers yoru question?
</div>


<div>
I was asking about files because Encrypter Pro only works with simple text. &nbsp;For me that's all I want, a couple clicks and I'm looking at my passwords...however, if you need to store encrypted files, then you'd have to do so with a separate tool (as I do). &nbsp;TrueCrypt will meet the needs for both of course, I just like to get to my passwords super quick.

<div>
ill take a look at that too, thanks.

<div>
I'm still looking at this, Im sorry for the delay. &nbsp;Have started the process.

Hi guys<br />
<br />
Firstly, apologies for the extended delay. &nbsp;This is where I am with it.<br />
<br />
Ok I have tried the latest versions of TC on both a mac and Windows 7, using the latest OS and TC versions for both.<br />
<br />
I remember when I tried using TC a few years ago on my USB, I didnt have to load TC and all that. &nbsp;I could have sworn I just click on the container on the USB and it asked me for a password before it opened the container. &nbsp;Maybe this wasnt TC but some other software. &nbsp;Do I always have to mount it and load TC before I can click on a the file container? &nbsp;Its really annoying me!.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
