Icon Lock-iT XP provides strong file encryption and security for Desktop files. Secure, safe password protection, lock and encrypt files or folders with a mouse click. Configurable user accounts enforce file ownership and let you decide who can lock files. Includes many features designed for home users, shared computers, and the mobile professional. The self-decrypting option lets you send or distribute encrypted files with peace of mind. When choosing the "Create self-decrypting file" option, instead of simply locking your file or folder, it will transform it into a self-extracting executable.
