How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the Windows

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This article describes how to determine whether a computer is running a  32-bit version or  64-bit of the Windows operating system. Generally, a  computer's bit count indicates how much data it can process, the speed  with which it can process the data, and the maximum memory capacity. In  order to optimize the computer's performance, the bit count of the  operating system that is installed on the computer should match the bit  count of the computer itself.<br />
<br />
This article is intended for a beginning to intermediate computer user.  You may find it easier to follow the steps if you print this article  first.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

How To Password Protect Data On CDs or DVDs

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Are you looking for a software that can protect your precious and confidential data on CD/DVD through a password means when the  CD/DVD is inserted it asks for a password and if its right then displays  the contents and if not then its shows nothing except password error message. The answer is yes, there are some softwares available that can protect your data whether its word files, pdf files, picture/images, movies, mp3 or any other  file. These softwares can easily make your CD/DVD password protected by using different encryption methods. No one can access your CD/DVD data without having the password to open it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>CryptCD </b></u></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://hotfile.com/dl/97729895/756b8f3/CryptCD_v5.0_Enterprise.rar.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank""><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-5JjdTLLw9RCeViNKfbfrJ_7uLxOMtThSeDq7W8nLRb91Q8ZIwAJ1kEMqdNvZl6EGd2u1HHotzD6BhCbyXFkSoOqF3QwZWSKFtlK7T2Y6fDYJA18NUcc0CZTSLtrsEQ3MfvxcnXWtuOHS/s1600/Crypt_CD.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>CryptCD </b>is a privacy / security application that lets you conceal and encrypt your files in a portable way. Most programs just encrypt your files leaving other users wondering what’s in them. Concealing the files with a decoy system removes the curiosity about what files are there reducing the odds that someone will try</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">to get into your private information.</div><br />
Once you create a CryptCD and burn the files to CD ( with your burner software ) it will work on other PC compatibles too so you can carry your sensitive files with you instead of trusting people with them on your system when your away. <br />
<br />
The files you put on a CryptCD are not simply encrypted. They are strategically packed in to .dat files (with multiple files per .dat so you can’t tell where one file starts and the others begin making it very difficult to decrypt even if you could unpack them.) <br />
<br />
When you view/run files from a CryptCD that file is copied and decrypted to your system temp directory while you work with it. When your done with that file it is automatically deleted from the drive ( multiple files can remain open at once ).<br />

Protected Disc/Pendrive is                        fully autonomous and does not need any special  software                        installed on computer. It is possible to create  protected media on first computer and "play" it on a second computer  with installed OS: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP.<br />
<br />
<b>Master Voyager would be helpful in the following situations:</b><br />
<ul><li>                         Password protected  CD/DVD with large amount of sensitive data inside can be safely sent via usual postal mail<br />
</li>
<li>                         Encrypted backups on CD/DVD can be kept in public places<br />
</li>
<li>                         Encrypted USB Flash Drive can be stolen, but confidential documents will remain confidential.<br />
</li>
<li>No need to decrypt files on DVD/Pen Drive before the use. Just enter  password and work with any document on DVD/USB Flash Drive as with any  usual storage device.</li>

On-the-fly encryption  means that data is automatically encrypted or decrypted right before it  is loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an  encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct  password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is  encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file,  free  space, meta data, etc).<br />

- Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.<br />
- Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.<br />
