In the land of Winblows XP, one can right-click on a folder, select "Encrypt",
and it is quickly encrypted using one's system password. Encryption and decryption are
transparent; so for example I encrypted my email files, and they worked just as though
they weren't encrypted. When anyone else logged onto my computer, though, they were just
gibberish.
I cannot find, anywhere, a similar function for Mac OS X.
offhand i don't think the "system password" is available to any
utility on a Mac (but that may be because of how my system is set
up); other than that, there are various ways to do it; i'd
install the tool "on my command" (requires logging out)
<http://free.abracode.com/cmworkshop/on_my_command.html>
then launch its OMCEdit utility, click "Download Commands"
search for a command called "Encrypt Folder & Delete Original",
download and install that (you could also write your own shell
script or AppleScript to use whatever encryption tool you prefer)
