How to Use the Windows Command Prompt to Encrypt Files

You don't need fancy software to encrypt files, as the Windows Command Prompt can do it all for you. Here's how.

How to Encrypt Files Using the Command Prompt

We can encrypt files using Windows' own Command Prompt and the cipher command. To do so, do the following:

1- Search for Command Prompt in the Start menu search bar, and then double click to launch it.
2 - You now need to change the working directory to the folder that contains your files. For example, if I wanted to encrypt files in the test folder that is located on my desktop, I would use the command cd Desktop\Test.
3 - Now type cipher /e.
4 - Your files will now be encrypted, and Windows should show you a confirmation message to tell you that it completed the task successfully.

How to Decrypt Files Using the Command Prompt

The steps to decrypt the encrypted files are pretty similar:

1- Launch Command Prompt through the Start menu
2 - Change the working directory to the required folder
3 - Decrypt files using the command cipher /d.
4 - Command Prompt will now decrypt your files and will display a confirmation message.
