I want to have such a system that when someone opens my pen drive for first time IT SOULD ASK FOR PASSWORD.
And i dont want encryption utility because it will take time to access files . I want a quick mechanism . I just want password protection for pen drive
I have used truecrypt , rohos mini drive . they are worst . They take time. Give some other tools than this

sorry for my 1 post but if your pen drive doesn't support U3 than whatever S/W you used if someone format your pen drive than all your protection is lost

my pen drive is of kingston 4GB with FAT or FAT32 file directory format.
I just want Password protection guys and if possible while formatting also it should ask password. That is only IF POSSIBLE. The main is "PASSWORD PROTECTION". When i connect my pen drive on other's Pc it should prompt me password.
And thanks krishnandu.sarkar . I will test "folder lock" with my pen drive.
