Seen it in operation and would accept it if I had opened said file.

Clean desktop before I played a game, but beackup file of an unoped file there after game.

Suspicious so want to protect certain files.

Not sure I would rely on office security, been notoriously weak in the past.

I would created a password protected ZIP file, and add them in there.

Good long, secure password, jobs a good un  :y
