Guest PT Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Is there a simple means or perhaps a Windows or third party utility to enable putting an overall password for accessing the files on a jump drive which contains nmerous files? In other words, a single password which would open the drive for normal use, but render it useless to someone who didn't have the password. -- PT

Guest Vince Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Re: Paswording a Jump Drive Try Cryptainer. There are paid versions and free versions. The free version limits the storage file size you can create. The good thing about cryptainer is it has a removable drive version. This program will let you make unlimited vaults to store things in. http://www.cypherix.com/ I however do not use it like that I just have cryptainer on my main machine and make self extracting archives that are 128bit encrypted them open them from the driver when needed. One other thing if you only want to protect small things like a password list the program called fsekrit http://tinyurl.com/pgb9b that is a stand alone program.

However, be aware that the device stores hidden files on the host PC, and it has been alleged that malware writers are exploiting this.
