Truecrypt for windows will do this for you. After creating an encypted volume, select Create Traveller Disk from the 
tools menu.

Hello. Truecrypt.  If you are using Windows you can write a
"autorun.inf" file in the root of your pendrive

put the truecrypt executable on your pendrive and write an autorun.inf
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun]
that starts truecrypt executable.

Hi

I am looking for a password protect for my usb drives.  Any idea for a free
one.

Please note that that when I plug my thumbdrive in the usb port it should
prompt me the password interface so that after putting the right password I
am allow to access the thumbdrive content.  The usb drive will b plug in any
machine.

Kindly advise.

Has anyone read any good reviews on Endpoint security?
I'm looking for a cost effective way to accomplish the following:
1. Encrypt the contents of the device
2. Audit files copied to and from the device
3. Prevent certain file types from being copied.

I am currently looking at GFI's product and Devicewall.

Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Rob
