Thanks - much more straightforward than the "copying code" options other help videos suggest. Just had to install the small 7-zip software, it shows up as an option when you click on folder, do the steps, find the new 2.7z file in the same path you pulled the folder from, etc. Trust this guy, he makes things simple and I feel a lot better storing my/my family's personal info now.

Right? This is such a lame video, I thought everyone already knew how to do this. I simply want a folder which behaves like any other Windows folder except it's inaccessible without a password. This is easily done in Linux.

If you do it in Linux to password protect it, what happens if you then take out the thumb drive and plug it into a windows machine? Or any other machine? Does the password requirement still hold?

This is quite a bad way of protecting folders with a password. Remember that when you open and/or edit a file through 7zip, an uncrypted copy of the file is created on the \AppData\Local\Temp folder of your computer... even if your 7zip is protected with a password.

As you described, when the password-protected archive is created, the password is indeed requested when the archive is opened. However, I've noticed that once the password is accepted, and the archive is closed, the password is no longer requested when reopening the archive. Reproduced using Windows 10.

compression is used for archival purposes, once you uncompressed a file it retains the original quality. also if you payed any attention to the video you can control the level of compression of which he turned off entirely.

As what the creator said, Delete files after compression, is to delete the original high quality file, because the file has been compressed and stored inside the 7zip file, and it will be locked because you set a password, if you forget the password, then you're screwed up if the files are important
