Flexcrypt Folder: Free file or folder encryption for Windows

Have some files on your PC that you'd rather not have your roommate looking at? Want to send some top secret government documents over email without the risk of someone intercepting your email and reading your files? Flexcrypt Folder is a free encryption utility for Windows that can password protect any group of files for you.Once you've installed Flexcrypt Folder, all you have to do is highlight a file, folder, or group of files that you want to encrypt and right click on them to bring up the context menu. Select Encrypt using FlexCrypt Folder, enter a password, and you're all set. The program will create a self extracting archive that can only be opened with the correct password.
In other words, you can send the file to anybody you want, and they don't need to install anything on their computer to extract the contents. They just need the correct password.

Can't you just use WinZip or WinRAR to do this? They both have options to password-protect your archives

This program is AWFUL. There is no way to minimize from the program itself, nor is there a way to close it except from the tray icon.
