Encrypt a USB Drive

[Anon_F]

Is their a quick & easy way to encrypt USB Flash Drives when using MS Windows O/S?
Do sometimes hold sensitive data on them so after an easy way to protect the files.

FreeOTFE, available through CNET

or

TrueCrypt, available through FileHippo


I'm usually happy with anything from CNET or FileHippo.

Windows, since Win 2000 and subsequent business incarnations like XP Pro & Server, can encrypt USB drives using the Encrypting File System (EFS). Encryption is not natively supported on FAT32 drives, highly recommend formatting to NTFS first.

Data security is an oxymoron.
