I am looking to put a team together to develop a freeware (possibly open-source) program which will act as a shell for Windows and encrypts file on the harddrive. I want it to have an "internal Explorer" (that acts just like Windows Explorer) so that when you open this program, it asks for a password. Entering a correct password is the only way to open the exe; otherwise (going through regular Windows Explorer), it says that it is not a valid Win32 EXE.

Know what I mean?

If you are interested in helping me -- I really need help considering I've never done work with encryption before -- please either email me ([email protected]) or reply to this post.

More information is available upon request.
