In order to protect archive file, a password is usually used to encrypt RAR\/ZIP file. However, if every time when you compress files to ZIP\/RAR archive, you need to set a password to encrypt it, it would be messy and bald. If we can set a password to encrypt compressed file, while files are compressed into an archive, it would be more convenient.<\/p>\n

Actually, there is such functionality in compression software WinRAR. You can change some settings in it to set WinRAR to automatically add a password to compressed file<\/strong>, such as compressed ZIP\/RAR file.<\/p>\n

Steps to Set a Default Password to Automatically Encrypt Archive:<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0<\/strong>Run WinRAR, and click Options<\/strong> menu, then choose Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"choose<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/strong>Click Compression<\/strong> tab in Settings window, and click Create default<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

\"create<\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0<\/strong>In Set default compression options<\/strong> window, select Advanced<\/strong> tab, and click Set password<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

\"choose<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0<\/strong>In new dialog, type a password twice you want to use to encrypt or protect RAR\/ZIP file. Then click OK button several times in open window to save this setting.<\/p>\n

\"create<\/a><\/p>\n

After above settings, when you use right-hand menu to create archive, the password will be the default password used to encrypt archive you are creating.<\/p>\n
