Help Encrypting on Windows 7 Home Premium

[jklyn50]

Long story short, I need to encrypt folders on a Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have no computer programming or hacking experience, and I have googled for hours with no luck. I've tried using regedit and bitlocker to no avail. I haven't the slightest idea on how to use the command prompt or powershell. Everything I've read says since there is no EFS on home premium, I won't be able to encrypt. Is there really NO way to encrypt a document folder on this operating system?!

BitLocker isn't available on Home Premium. You need Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate for that (and in fact I'm not sure about Pro).

Main other option I can think of would be a small TrueCrypt partition.
