AxCrypt, My Lockbox ( http://fspro.net/my-lockbox/ ) – both tested and liked.
You can use even an archiver – 7zip, WinRAR and so on… (password encryption).

Finally, take a look: http://alternativeto.net/software/truecrypt/

For the best integration and feature set, Folder Guard. Assign passwords to folders, write-protect them, etc.

I’ve been using this for a decade on company workstations and my home setup for pure security and in place of a bloated antivirus – write-protecting binaries, system folders, etc. Locking personal folders is something I don’t actually do!

Thank you … I will try Folder Guard with personal folders :)
