I've never done this before, but it sounds cool. You would need to create some kind of python file object to do this properly. So instead of actually clicking a folder, you would click a pickled file or something. I found some cool info about encrypting files here: http://www.methods.co.nz/python/ There's also a python cryptography kit: http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/pycrypt/ Finally, I found a fellow python programmer that wrote his own: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-April/378510.html There's also PortablePython...
