Solved: Password Protect a Flash Drive
Hello all,
Is there a free program out there to put a password on a flash drive? I have seen many programs but there is to much "fluff" stuff that comes with it. I want to be able to put my flash drive in, have a dialog box pop up to input a password and thats it. Any suggestions??

Hi,
I suggest TrueCrypt (free, legal Open Source) in what they call "Traveller mode".
