Not a simple undertaking. Is there any particular reason why you need to write your own program rather than using something secure, robust and free like TrueCrypt?
I believe the way that some security programs work is as follows: 1. stores the information to be encrypted/locked in a single file. 2. uses a 'shell extension' (of some kind) to make it appear that the encrypted file is an actual folder, or part of the folder structure.
