We use a think called Pointsec. We run it on our restr!cted network, and you can only write to USB devices which have been encrypted using this. If you want to use the USB device in a non-company machine which does not run the actual Pointsec s/w then there is a small app you can run on the USB device which prompts for a password and then opens on a browser window of the device. Essentially we use this to prevent any embarrassing USB device losses!

It also requires admin rights, which rules out most of our end users and clients as they tend to run with 'proper' permissions.

It has to be something that is fairly universal and doesn't require software at the other end (or at least if it does, that has to be free). I thought about password protected RAR or Zip, or even self extracting rar's, but I doubt the real world security of something that you get password crackers for from most warez sites. Any suggestions ? Olly -- Important notice: We have moved offices. Our new address is below.
