Hello All,

I want to protect my Outlook 2007 email folder, and some other MS Office folders from hackers who might break into my computer. If I password protect my Outlook 2007 .pst file, will that prevent a hacker who enters my computer from accessing my email, and other office folders?

I am not concerned about protecting my computer from someone who happens to pass by my desk, since I live alone. I am only interested in protecting against someone who breaks into my computer.

If I password protect my computer's Vista Account, will that prevent a hacker from accessing my emails, etc.?

If none of the above mentioned techniques will protect these computer files from a hacker, what other options do I have?

Thank you for your help,

Kurt
