    I need a recommendation for some encryption software. Here are my needs: 1) Must be free or VERY cheap 2) Cannot use a typed in password or dongle to unlock 3) Could be only directories, but would prefer whole drive encryption We need to use XP Home, so the EFS is not available to us on these machines. They are being locked against intrusion and tampering. We need to encrypt certain folders in order to help protect against someone pulling the disk, mounting it in another machine, and changing stuff in it. Thanks, David

        I'd second TrueCrypt, it's really good and I've never had an issue with it over the years.
