Lightbulb How To Password Protect A FlashDrive
Okay, so i realize there are lots of encrption softwares out there for the USB drive and i even have several. BUT i hate having to wait for it to encrypt and decrypt what i would like is a program that would make me have to insert a password before i can even open the flashdrive. Is there such a way????????

I don't think that is possible without doing some type of customization or installing something special onto the USB.

Yeah, I didn't find anything either. You could make the files hidden... it's a little bit more secure than having them out in the open and it would be fast.

It really does help to fill in your computer information when you register. Just click on 'My Control Panel' and edit your profile. Thanks!

Did you know that 90% of all laptop repairs can be avoided by regular cleaning? Just take a can of compressed air and clean the ventilation areas, fans, etc. Your computer will run cooler with fewer problems.

Yea, Thanks folderlock is about what i wanted. The free version only allows you 20 trys before you have to register. But... i like the fact that it works on usbs so i might buy it...
