Encrypting The Disc

[Fred Finch]

I get that I need to click on the right bottom icon and choose options, but the icon doesn't stay long enough for me to even click on it.

 

What else can I do to password protect my cd.

Care to supply some detail so someone could have an idea what you are talking about

 

I am not aware of ANY program in the NXT Suites that can do that???

I need to know how to password protect a disc. I was given the link below on how to encrypt, but when I followed the directions I could not get the icon symbol long enough to click on it.

So I still need to figure out how I can password protect the disc.

 

Thanks!

Click the down arrow (red arrow) move down and click options.

To finish CD's post, after you drag your files onto the Roxio Burn icon and click the "burn" button, it'll ask you for the password you want to apply.

No need to finish my post.

 

The OP's trouble was trying to get to the options!

Fred, so is it the first "disc" icon that only shows up briefly? Or one of the sub-menus? It's not completely clear exactly how far you're able to get.

[Fred Finch]

So once I insert the disc, I see the roxio icon appear, but once I click on the arrow down button it disappears right away before I can go to the options.

[d_deweywright]

So, you insert a disc, the Roxio Burn icon appears, then disappears when you click the "option" arrow.

 

If you go into Task Manager, while the Roxio Burn icon is on the screen, click on the "Processes" tab. You should be able to find the "Roxio Burn.exe" process, and probably the RoxioBurnLauncher.exe process right there with it. With the task manager open, if you then click on the Options arrow in the Roxio Burn icon, does that process disappear? And then does it subsequently reappear?

Also, in answer to your original question of what else you could do, you could use something like WinZip to compress and encrypt your files with a password, then write that .zip file to your disc. It will require your password to unencrypt and expand the files.

[Fred Finch]

I'm just now able to try looking inside the Task Manager, but it does disappear there as well...

 

As for doing WinZip to compress and encrypt, I don't think I've ever done this before.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling NXT 2 on your system? Or reinstalling and selecting "repair"? It rather sounds like a messed up installation since it's crashing like that. What version of Windows are you running?

 

As for creating a password protected .ZIP file, you'll probably need a separate program like the actual WinZip program. I guess there are a number of other applications available as well that allow you to encrypt with a password. Actually, I just checked, and I have PowerDesk installed, which will create ZIP files, and that has an option for adding a password too.
