Is there a simple encrypting archiver which is just like WinZip except for the glaring security hole? I find it quite annoying that WinZip (and 7-zip, etc) does not encrypt the file names in the archive, just the file contents.

"The 7z format used by 7zip can encrypt filenames in the archive.

But you can't do this with Zip files until someone establishes a widely used update to the Zip file format.

The only way is to cheat and store a zip within a zip - so you'd create a zip file called (say) no-peeping.zip (or even rename it to something inconspicuous like ""untitled.txt"") with all your files inside, then add that to another zip file."

Winrar have an option to encrypt filenames (The encryption doesn't work with zip files, only with rar, despite the fact that winrar could handle zip files)
