Solution 1

If you "know" VB.NET then it's pretty simple to translate C# to VB.NET. As for encrypting folders, take a look at SharpZipLib, it's a library you can use in your code.

Solution 2

You can encrypt every file inside of a folder, but I don't think you can encrypt the folder itself. The closest you can get would be to create an encrypted ZIP file (using a third-party tool) that contains the folder and its contents, then delete the folder from your system.
