The purpose I have in mind is that I need to encrypt small documents containing IPR, so that I can email them and they can be downloaded and decrypted by the recipient if they know the key. For this purpose, the utility has to be able to create self-decrypting exe files and they would need to be small enough to email (ie less than 10 MB I guess).
Cheers,

Encrypt it and stick it in a self extracting zip file. Or just put it in a zip file with a strong password on it."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Only thing is, I don't know how I could produce self-decrypting exe files, so I guess the recipient of the encrypted file would need a copy of the software in order to decrypt.

I'm looking for some freeware that will allow me to encrypt a folder (inc subfolders & files) into a self-decrypting exe file, so that all that would be needed to decrypt the file would be to type in the password. I would like it to be at least 128 bit encryption with a fairly up-to-date algorithm (not that I know anything much about encryption technology!). Can anyone recommend such a program (must work with Win XP & ideally with Vista also)? I searched on the web but there seems to be loads of them so I thought best to ask for opinions.
Cheers,
Bwana.
