I recently obtained a 2T external drive for my
XP laptop, and I would like to copy directories
(folders) to it with strong encryption. What
software should I use?

Thanks,
Mike.

There must be hundreds of strong encryption utilities. How would you
like us to decide which one to suggest to you?

Or were you thinking: If someone in a newsgroup recommends something, I
guess it's worth a try.

There's nothing wrong with asking for an opinion or recommendation. If
I needed a plumber, I'd probably go with what my neighbor recommends
rather than what pops up in Google...
