Re: File/Folder Encryption

Hi Carol,

I do know about creating an encrypted disk image. I'd prefer a
simple encrypted folder, if that's possible, so I wouldn't need to
worry about the disk image size.

Also, if one were to drag-and-drop files to the disk image but forget
to secure delete the original file the security risk is still present.

The disk image is certainly a good option for securing files on a flash drive.
