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.

Axcrypt uses 128bit AES to encrypt files.  It also does compression.
The auto execute function is there to provide an easy way to decrypt
the
file if the receiver does not have the Axcrypt software installed.
The
receiver still needs the password/paraphrase in order to decrypt the
file.
