How I can hide the folder structure from a password protected RAR file?

I want to save my files in a DVD or in several... I want to do it with this feature:

I want to protect and hide my files through a password. Normaly I used to compress my files and put it a password using Winrar. I usually put all in one .rar file.

But I don´t like that when you click on the .rar file, the program open it and you can see the folders and the name of the files even you can´t open them because they are locked by the password.

So I would like to hide totally all folders and files from whoever person don´t know the password.


Actually, WinRAR provides this option. You just need to enable it as in the following screenshot (I got here by right clicking a folder and clicking "Add to RAR..."):

WinRAR Set Password Options

You can get there by going to Advanced -> Set Password, entering your password, and clicking on "Encrypt file names". This will disallow you to even open the archive without the proper password.


You should use TrueCrypt (now called VeraCrypt), then compress it without a password (because TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt already encoded it).
