Passwordprotect shared folders and drives

Hi,

I want to password protect a drive and some shared folders on my laptop. I can't seem to see where this can be done.

I often connect to wireless networks and I don't want people to access my shared files, however, I still want my 3 desktop computers at home and in the office to access them

Thanks chris

"Encrypts and decrypts your files while securely wiping the originals.
Or use it just to securely wipe your files.
Recurses sub-directories.

Still free, I think.
