Sometimes, you may want a file container (e.g. TrueCrypt) simply to present a monolithic entity during file transfer and storage. Also, some utilities can help somewhat, depending upon specific circumstances: RichCopy http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithcombs/archive/2009/03/22/richcopy-bulk-file-copy-tool-released-get-it-here.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithcombs/archive/2009/03/22/ric... There's another popular utility whose name escapes me at the moment. However, its author has insisted on continuing to use a package format that some anti-virus programs flag due to high use of the format by mal-ware authors. I've also found it to behave incorrectly in some circumstances, in the past.
