Bod, I'm guessing the answer will be no, but here's one silly suggestion to
consider: change the filetype. For example, change all "doc" filetypes to
"klm" or whatever. You'll just need to remember how to map it back.
Offhand I don't know what would be needed to create a mapping of filetypes
to automate the process, but that would seem more do-able than a formal
encryption process using xxcopy.

Any other ad hoc suggestions from others with the same sort of objective?
