Program for keeping encrypted files

I am looking for a program for Windows 7 which will encrypt files specified by me and allow me to view/edit/delete those files without creating a virtual disk. I do not want to have virtual disk as a domain administrator can access it so truecrypt is not the possibility.

One possibility is to use winrar with password protected archive but winrar serves a different goal so it is not very user friendly for this purpose.

If it's possible it would be nice if the program does not creates temp files while I open the files.

Any suggestions?

PGP is probably what you want http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/versions/freeware/

But, you can disable administrative shares - http://www.petri.co.il/disable_administrative_shares.htm

As I understood if I disable administrative share even a domain administrator cannot access them? Is it possible on windows 7 too? – Giorgi – 2010-05-13T19:10:09.757

Yes, domain admins will not be able to access the c$ drive, but depending on your netowrk/software installed admins might have another way of viewing your drive contents.

According to this (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/c9d6b1c2-1059-4a8a-a6bd-56cc34104faa) it works in Windows 7.

How about GPG4win (http://www.gpg4win.org/) or related project GNUPT (http://www.gnupt.de/wp/?p=53&gtlang=en)
