WinRar &amp; 7Zip, and apparently, in 7Zip you need to save as .zip type not .7zip to allow others to easily unzip with password. I was impressed with the &amp;zip functionality in the video below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5KwdedYjecU?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I then wondered about the Free installer\/uninstaller program HIM NIS Edit, but that does not have the option to password protect the installer file (<em>I suppose that makes sense, after all, it\u2019s the intention to actually install files , so stopping the program from doing so doesn&#8217;t really make sense<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Word &amp; other office Docs encryption<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I was actually working in a Word Document and it has its own encryption, I tried encrypting it with a password and then reading it with a text editor file. I couldn&#8217;t and it showed the type of encryption it was using. I was quite impressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is from version 2016 onwards apparently.  I do recall cracking Excel password locked files in the past. I&#8217;m not sure you can do that nowerdays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/741ZD-uSm1c?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End Comment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I found the whole idea of password protected files interesting, I hadn&#8217;t thought about them before.
