Clever use of Win7's own features for U disk encryption

        The compact U disk is the preferred mobile storage device for many friends, but because of its small size, the U disk is also very easy to lose, and important data and information stored therein may also be leaked. Although the use of encryption software can play a protective role, it is more troublesome. This problem has also plagued Xiaobian for a long time. After starting to use Windows 7, I found that a function that comes with Win7 can encrypt our U disk.

in Vista system already has a security feature BitLocker, BitLocker features of Windows7 and some even more powerful, users do not need to be complicated to modify Group Policy settings and so on, just log on to the system as an administrator on Windows7 can use. After inserting the USB flash drive, right click on the USB flash drive in "Computer" and select "Enable BitLocker" in the pop-up menu.

will pop up a "BitLocker Drive Encryption" wizard, select required to unlock the drive way, Xiao Bian suggest that you select the "Use a password to unlock the drive." After entering the password twice in succession (the password is at least 8 characters), click "Next". In order to prevent

forget the password, BitLocker will create a recovery key is saved to another drive or print retention, if you choose to save the key, will get a file name "BitLocker recovery key ***. Txt Text file.

finally click on "start encryption", BitLocker encrypted began, U disk for your time this process takes will be encrypted storage capacity and U disk file size is determined. After

encryption is complete, go back to the list of drives you can see our U disk has been "locked" up! After the U disk into the computer and then later

, will first pop up a "BitLocker Drive Encryption" message box, only enter the correct password in order to properly use the U disk. When the computer

encrypted with BitLocker U disk inserted in Win7 XP system, can also be encrypted by BitLocker with different Win7 is at first open U-XP, but inside the file You need to enter the password correctly to open it in the "BitLockerToGo Reader" mode, so friends who don't have Win7 don't have to worry about not being able to use the encrypted USB flash drive.
