Add Password to Zip or RAR File

For people who are on the lookout for bulky softwares to password protect your files from, maybe, your father or your nosy sis, this technique is for you all. There is no need to download any kinda software. The technique which we'll be implementing is a Windows functionality. Just follow the following steps:



Step 1:
After you have decided on which files to protect, put them all in a single folder. The folder itself can have subfolders as well.

Step 2:
Now right-click the folder and select Send To>Compressed (zipped) Folder. A new .zip archive will be formed.

Step 3:
Now enter the just created zip archive.(If you have WinRar or similar kinda software installed right-click and open select open the file using Open With>Compressed (zipped) Folder)

Step 4:
When you enter the folder click on File and select Add Password...

You should expect the following prompt:

Enter your desired password here and enjoy your privacy..
When you will attempt to open any file from the folder, you will prompted for the password.

Thank You.
