why bother with that when your operating system can already do it?

Do you mean Office or OS ?

7 Zip has what I think are several advantages:
- one can have many files in a single zip file
- only use p/w once to lock or unlock all files
- supports different p/w security levels
- supports a command line in a batch to do repetitive tasks.
