Actually I think this should do what I want as long as I don't leave
the folder open after encrypting it, right? Unfortunately I cannot get
it to work at all.

1) First time I tried it wanted to make a new key, so I let it do
that. The key now shows up in te Key Management tool.

2) I made a copy of a directory to play with.

3) I right click on that and choose Actions->Archive&Encrypt Folder. I
get a message about temporary file creation telling me it's going to
do the work and then will delete the file. I say continue, it pops up
a windows asking me to select a public key. The only key there is my
key so I select it and say OK.

I now have an error message window:

Sorry - KGpg

[GNUPG:] INV_RECP 0 6F81BCF.............. (a very long hex number

and the process fails.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Mark
