AxCrypt 1.6.4.4 description:
AxCrypt integrates seamlessly with Windows to compress, encrypt, decrypt, store, send and work with individual files.
It's free and open source file encryption for personal privacy and security for Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista with AES-128 encryption and double-click integration with Windows.
Features
- Right-click integration with Windows Explorer makes AxCrypt the easiest way to encrypt individual files in Windows.
- Double-click integration makes it as easy to open, edit and save encrypted files as it is to work with unencrypted files.
- Many additional features, but no configuration required, just install it and use it.
- AxCrypt encrypts files that are safely and easily sent to other users via e-mail or any other means. Self-decrypting files are also supported, removing the need to install AxCrypt to decrypt.
- AxCrypt is translated into English, Danish, Swedish, German, Dutch, Hungarian, Spanish, French, Italian and Norwegian so chances are it speaks your preferred language.
System Requirements
AxCrypt 1.6.4 or later will run on Windows 2000, 2003, XP and Vista. (Version 1.6.3 is the last version to support Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0 or later. Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later is required.)
AxCrypt reviews:
AxCrypt 1.7.1970.0 Review by Landsnes | Mar 16, 2010
Excellent!
The features of this program are more than sufficient for my needs. Combined with TrueCrypt there's little more to ask for.

AxCrypt 1.7.1970.0 Review by MickyFoley | Mar 16, 2010
1.6.4.4 2008-05-13
Release of 1.6b4.3.
1.6b4.3 2008-04-27
Bug fixes, see change notes.
1.6b4.2 2008-04-10
Windows Vista has introduced a brilliant new feature in the name of
security (sic!) which causes the address space of processes to be
randomly assigned. This caused a latent bug to surface, causing
random crashes and taskbar freezes. Another latent bug caused Vista
to silently kill the process instead of showing it's exception
dialog. In the end a rather major edit with lots of cleanup as a
result.
1.6.4.1 2008-03-17
Fixed a major issue with not using provided passphrase when encrypting
in batch files via the command line.
1.6.4 2008-03-07
Final release of the changes in 1.6b3.1 through 1.6b.3.3 plus a few
minor changes.
1.6b3.3 2008-02-07
Include AxCrypt2Go beta in the distribution. Enable use of Unicode
filenames (legacy versions will use translated name).
1.6b3.2 2008-01-29
Further changes to make it more Vista-aware. The largest change is
re-compilation as a full Unicode application and dropping support for
Windows 95, 98, ME and NT. We're no open for translations to more
languages, as we're not limited in the texts. Filenames are still
stored in Ansi only, will be fixed in next version.
1.6b3.1 2008-01-08
Minor bugfixes, but major upgrade of library code and development-
environment to Visual Studio 2005. Vista support in installer and code.
Fix of problem with networked folders in Windows XP after Microsoft
security update.
Release of 1.6b4.3.

AxCrypt 1.7.1970.0 Review by rhoadesb | Mar 16, 2010
I am currently using version 1.6.3 so this speaks about that.
I have been using Axcrypt for single file encryption several years now, always with good results.
Something I don't see in the homepage of Axcrypt is a version changes list. It appears that all of the features listed in 1.6.4 I already have in 1.6.3.
Perhaps the release is correcting bugs, although I have never encountered any.

Very solid and reliable. It easily covers the basics of file encryption without all the overhead like you get from PGP these days.
