I wonder the same thing.

I think that whoever did winzp is the one who missed something.

I'm sure other programs can hide the file names but I know
that RAR can.

I often need to hide the names just to send a file to someone where
gmail would stop it from being emailed.  Either hide it or rename it
which sometimes is more of a hassle than encrypting the file.
