If you right click on a folder and tell it to encrypt, it will then automatically encrypt every file in the folder. The 
folder itself however remains unencrypted - so it differs in that respect from a zip archive but is quite fast and 
convenient

You're right Harold, it only works at the file level.  Still, not a bad
tool.  I was also impressed when it compressed and encrypted ISO images
of 700MB.

I've tried Axcrypt but, if I remember correctly, it can't be used to 
encrypt an entire folder or drive unless you do it file by file.
