Encrypted thumb drive

I read the article in another blog.I'm just sharing that with you guys..Try at your own risk ;)

I have a Sandisk Cruzer Micro USB thumb drive that I carry around with me. Last weekend I spent a bit of time setting it so that all my data is securely encrypted using the excellent open source software called TrueCrypt. I also managed to get Windows autoplay working on the drive so I can access the data with the least amount of annoyance. Actually it's about as easy as it's ever going to get. I stick my drive in, an autoplay menu pops up with "Mount Truecrypt Volume" as the default choice, I hit enter, type my password, hit enter again and that's it. Here's how I did it..............................................................................
