 The Wannabe is no longer. Replaced by the Flotilla. If you replace every part of a computer is it still the same computer?

EDIT: right click on drive and click bitlocker dunno if it will do it for files but you could partition a drive

Well, you still can use truecrypt. But diskcryptor actually has way better performance esp. if you use a SSD. diskcryptor works fine with Win7. If I remember correctly bitlocker may only be available on "professional" versions of window.

And don't forget to make backups! If anything goes wrong during or after encryption you have no chance to save your data!
