How to encrypt and decrypt folders and files in windows?

I am looking the reason to not able to encrypt and decrypt the files in windows operating system. Is there any specific reason behind that? What happens to the compression factor if the files are encrypted? Are there any loop holes or security threats in doing so. I was going through this topic in a blog on the other day but couldn’t get a feel of it properly. Have any body have good knowledge on the same? Can you please take an example and explain the reason behind the question of not able to encrypt and compress the file and folders in windows?
