    Well if you're using 2K/XP, then simply right-click on the folder, choose properties and look for the "encrypt folder" option.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Try using the EncryptFile and DecryptFile functions -- they work for directories, too.
