USB protection

Jingham

Hello, I'm new here and i've been searching around for some bog standard usb stick protection, it doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a password to stop my friends getting hold of my usb stick and mucking around There's nothing particularly mportant on there anyway

So could anyone reccommend me a bog standard that's preferably free?

Thanks.

If you are using Windows 7, use the excellent and smart BitLocker application (Drive Encryption) included with the Ultimate and Enterprise editions :cool:

It's lucky that Microsoft has now refuted the claims that BitLocker is crackable, then...! :j
