Thanks for the answer.. I am already using encryption on it. But what if I need a way to read the encryption content on an unsecure computer? Without it being copied. What I think im looking for is a way to lock a file for reading. Or deny all reading exept an text editor on the memory stick or something..

Well if you have any information that is sensitive on your USB thumbdrive you should be using some type of encryption on the information so if you do plug into a machine that will just suck the files off your USB drive, they will just be encrypted and useless to them. -- - Justin Lintz
