hey guys,

 

 Is it possible to password protect a usb key, like to have a portable app on the usb that runs when its plugged in? I heard try crypt is good in protecting usb keys, but i dont want to encrypt my stuff or anything along those lines, I just want my usb password protected.. 

 

Can anyone give any tips on this?

 

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

I used Bitlocker for a while until I realized I couldn't plug my USB into my phone to transfer files.
