How do I protect my files with password?

In order to put a password for your files and folders, just follow these simple steps:

• Select the folder you want to protect with password, right-click the mouse button and choose Add to Archive.

• In the Archive Format, select RAR.

• Select the Advanced tab and click the Set Password button.

• Type the password you want and don’t forget to check the box ‘Encrypt file name’.

• Click Ok and wait for it to finish processing. Delete the folder which you chose to protect so that you can only access it by opening the RAR file equipped with a password.

I hope this helps!
