File Encryption/Decryption

Can anyone help me create a file encryption/decryption prog.
I've made a registry prog. but now i need a way to encrypt and decrypt the file containing the password!! HELP

P.S. I'm pretty rusty in this area so make it easy to understand!~

Searching this very site turned up a lot of results. But this thread seems helpful:

End Sub

You can also use the Xor operator with encryption keys.

Code:

---

MyCode = 50
MyVal = 65 Xor MyCode

---

Then reserve the process to decrypt it.

Code:

---

MyCode = 50
MyVal = 115 Xor MyCode
