How do I protect my documents if my computer is stolen

How do I protect my files if my computer is stolen or has unauthorized use.

Review the capabilities of the Operating systems EFS (encrypting file
system) and Make VERY sure you save the agent certificates and maintain
a secure password that you use on the PC.

Thanks, how do I do that?

 

[db]

keep your documents
in an encrypted folder
like

microsoft's "my private folder"

or

"free hide folder program"

of

upload / store them on microsoft's
skydrive site.

you could add login passwords
to your system, but these can
be circumvented.

a better solution is to encrypt
the documents.

of course the above methods
protect you from the regular
thug/thief.

there is no protection from
law enforcement or expert
hackers.
