Oh, you're very welcome! The least I could do was to sigboost it.

Glad you found it useful!

That's a very well written guide, and has made me think about encrypting a volume of my harddrive, (which has always seemed like too much work, for me).

Has bikergeek set you up, then?

He's advising me. :)

Thank you!

I may write a follow-up on computer security. There's been a ton written on how to keep your computer safe from viruses and malware but very few people think about snoopy roommates, inquisitive children, and so on.
