  I think Windows Live Messenger is not capable to do that, but you can
use other programs... Pidgin has at least 2 plugins to provide it
encryption (Pidgin-Encryption 3.0 and Pidgin-OTR 3.2), and you can use
portable pidgin if you don't want to install it on your computer (look
at http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/pidgin_portable ). Both users
need to be using the same program, since there is no point if you can
encrypt something, if the other person can't decrypt it...

  You could use pidgin to talk, and windows live messenger to use shared
folders, and you can use GnuPG to encrypt the files before adding them
to the shared folder. I have not tried pidgin, so I don't know if it
supports file sharing...

 Best Regards
