Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

You can use gpg to en/decrypt files. But I guess you are looking for a gui frontend. If you are using gnome, I think there is a program called seahorse that may do what you want.
You can probably get more definitive answers if you state what distro you are using and other relevant details of our setup.
what's a purpose of that encryption when you click on folder and it opens?)))
in gpg you need to enter your private key password everytime, i think that is pretty good protection)
I tried checking up on this PGP but it looks as though this is mostly for email!!!
Email was one of the main uses for it, but the algorithm is also widely used for encrypting files on disk. As far as I know many file managers have support for pgp/gpg built in.

I use it to encrypt files on my drive. I don't know about dolphin, but nautilus supports it without any problems
