 Description: Encryption Plus Folders Freeware is a powerful utility that protects the contents of a single folder on your computer. Encryption Plus for Folders Freeware uses the well-known and documented Blowfish algorithm and a 64-bit encryption key. Just enter a password and select a folder to apply secure file encryption to its contents. Each time Windows loads, Encryption Plus for Folders Freeware prompts you for its password. When the proper password is supplied, it takes up residence in your system tray and grants access to the contents of the folder. If the program is shut down or the proper password isn't given, the contents of the folder remain encrypted. An added feature lets you easily lock and hide your desktop when you step away from your PC. No manual required. Windows 95/98/ME and Windows NT/2000 compatible.

From Nonags We're bending the Nonags rules a bit with this one, although it's useful the way it is, certain features are reserved for the Pro version. (Will not encrypt subfolders.) But the app works great if you just need to restrict access to a single folder, which is something many Win9x users have been asking for.
