One of the most beautiful things that you can do using the Command Prompt, is encrypting your sensitive data.
Encryption is a way to prevent others from taking a peek at your data, and it's a really important part of ensuring to some extent, at least), that your files are only yours.
Launch the Command Prompt, and change your working directory to the folder where your files are. For me I want to encrypt folder named 'New in Z drive. Type the commands below
z: cd New cipher/E
Note that the E written above here in not the name of drive. So write as it is (cipher/E). This will encrypt all the files that are inside the folder If you try and open these encrypted files, they will open normally for you, however, any other user will not be able to view the files, unless they log in using your account. So make sure that you have a password.
