if u have NTFS, u can do so...

Right clik on the fol/fil u wanna encryp and clik on Advanced > check the box "Encrypt contents to secure data" and voila ! ur done ,...

But i dunno how it can be reused on other comps i.e. i dunno how to assign private/public keys...

the comp that has the same key can open ur file...

I dont want any one to have a look at my datas in the same computer & with same user name.

Srry if it confused...

Well, u can use a zip tool (windows too has it) to password protect and compress ur folders...

I think this is a nessecity s/w all have so it shud be no problem...
