I got "the letter" from a company I used to work for. Some dummy in HR took her company laptop home with her and had it stolen in the K-Mart shopping center. They notified me that ALL my personal data was stored on that machine IN THE CLEAR and now I was highly exposed to ID theft. They mentioned that they would pay for one year of credit bureau monitoring. Yippie. I wrote back and asked them why, with TrueCrypt available to all, were they so stupid? I told them in a two paragraphs what They Should have been doing all along. TrueCrypt is easy. Create a file (called a volume). Give it as password. Mount it as a letter drive (in windows). Use it just like a network folder. How hard is that? People that said it was hard don't understand how important security is.

Very good windows explorer replacement!
FreeCommander version 2004.10

This free replacement is great for people who do a lot of work with file manipulation: Sending, Receiving, and Archiving. The new md5 support is excellent. For those of you who don't know... You CANNOT trust file transfers performed by Microsoft Explorer. I had downloaded all 6 ISO image files for Redhat 8 and wanted to burn them onto disk. The CD burner was on a different computer, so I connected and copied. When I burned the disks, they didn't work. I did a fc /b and found that they weren't the same. The problem is that the fc /b is another file copy and is ALSO prone to the same errors as the original. I needed something I could depend on. MD5 is the answer. I copy the ISO file AND the MD5 file across the network and then do an MD5 verification. If it succeeds, I have proof that the transfer worked. Cut & Pasting of files does work fine from one pane to the other. I especially like the dos command window that executes in the folder I have selected.
