Hi Guys,

 

I'm not sure if anyone can help me but I am trying to make some files on a usb stick protected. In other words I want the files to be readable but immovable.

 

Does anyone know how I go about this?

 

Thanx,

 

Jay

So if you mean you want people to be able to read your files but not change them?

 

Simply go to the file, right click on it and set it to 'read-only'.

 

The easiest way to password protect files on a non-password protected flash drive is to zip them up into a zip folder and use winzip to password protect the contents.

 

But this means the files won't even be readabale without a password.

I have tried this and moved my usb 2 another computer and simply right clicked and it let me delete the file??
