How to Password Protect a Zip File for Free

Windows has the ability to natively create zip files on the spot from your computer but what if you need to add a password to a zip file to keep it from being opened by someone who shouldn't see it? Fortunately, there is an easy and effective way to add a password to a zip file to keep its contents secure. That way nobody can open a file within the zip file or even extract its contents. If you use the 7z archive format and check the box for Encrypt file names, then other people will not even be able to see the contents of the zip file without the password.
