AxCrypt. It has fantastic shell integration. You can open encrypted files
instantly with the associated program. The generated temp files will be
wiped again after you're done only leaving the encrypted original on disk.
It can also encrypy to an exe you can send to people that do not have
AxCrypt installed. On top of this it also has a built in shredder and
renamer for added security. Unless you need to encrypt whole disks this
one rocks big time.

Triple that, it's a jewel but I prefer Eraser for a shredder with 35 pass
Gutman.

Scheiner will love you for that but if your passphrases suck, all the
encryption in the world won't help.
