Yes, you want CRYPTAINER - this is a free software which allows you to store stuff on your own hard disc but allows access only by way of a password.

This pgm CRYPTAINER costs nothing and is free to download and use - the total pgm.

Just put 'cryptainer' into Google and it will take you there.

PASSWORDS - easy to create easy to remember.
In your diary write down a sentence such as : -

My dog was 10 years old 2 years ago.

Use the initial letter and all the numbers from the above sentence to create a password

Do not write anything in your diary to indicate what the pass word is for and never write the password out in full, not even on a scrap of paper.

Anyone reading your diary will not know the password by reading your sentence.

For best security change your password every time you access CRYPTAINER. Or at least once a week. New sentence etc.
