We used compressed files for passing malware samples. In Vista, we were not able to use the O/S compression offering because it did not password protect the resulting .ZIP file. Does anyone know if Windows 7 will allow us to password protect a compressed file created by Windows 7, not a third-party tool? Thank you,

Hi Brownr9, Based on my knowledge, the answer is No. Do not understand why PG team remove it. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply! Don't understand it either, sure makes it difficult for the user base...

I'm afraid we need to use a third party software to add password. Thanks.
