Password on USB-stick

Post by Anakin »

Does anyone know a good program to make the USB-stick ask for a password before i can see, delete, save, edit... a file on the USB-stick??

it should be freeware

If it's absolutely necessary, you can just zip up the contents of your USB drive and then give te zip file a pass.

yes this is someting like what i'm looking for but 2 questions:
1) if the USB Secure.exe is deleted what will happen?? can i get my files or ate they loosed??
2) What is the different between the full and free versio??


But if there is a programm were you can't delet, and post files on the USB it will be gread.


EDIT
I test it and i see it's not so good for me because it's not compatible with portable apps. now my autorun file is deletet and i've got a file on the USB-Stick i can't delete :(

Move all of your data you want to keep on you pc, then reformat the drive.
