In windows 7 there is an option called "Bit Locker" to Encrypt your Confidential files.
But the worst thing is that Windows 7 doesnot provide you the relock option.
Once if u might hav open ur encrypted Drive, U hav no option to relock it.
To relock the encrypted drive u hav to restart ur system.
But this is not possible for u to restart every time.
Here is the trick to create a relock option :
> Open notepad
> Copy the code below, paste it in the notepad
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\relock-bde]
"AppliesTo"="(System.Volume.BitLockerProtection:=1 OR
System.Volume.BitLockerProtection:=3 OR System.Volume.BitLockerProtection:=5)"
@="Relock drive..."
"HasLUAShield"=""
"MultiSelectModel"="Single"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\relock-bde\command]
@=hex(2):77,00,73,00,63,00,72,00,69,00,70,00,74,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,\
00,6d,00,61,00,6e,00,61,00,67,00,65,00,2d,00,62,00,64,00,65,00,2d,00,6c,00,\
6f,00,63,00,6b,00,2e,00,76,00,62,00,73,00,20,00,25,00,31,00,00,00
> Save it as relock_bde.reg
> Double click on the "relock_bde.reg" to add the information into the registry.
> Open another notepad, copy and paste the following code
Args = ""
Last = Wscript.Arguments.Count - 1
For i = 0 To Last
Args = Args & " " & Wscript.Arguments.Item(i)
Next
Args = Replace(Args,":\",":")
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "manage-bde.exe", "-lock -forcedismount " &
Args, "", "runas", 1
> Save it as manage-bde-lock.vbs
> Then copy this "manage-bde-lock.vbs" file to C:\windows\system32
> Tats it .... U r done !!!
Now when u right click on ur encrypted drive, u'll b able to see 1) Manage Bitlocker and 2) Relock Drive.
Nice article but it seems to be difficult for beginners
