I've developed a tool to protect data in pen drive, probably you can give a try with it. It will work on windows XP and VISTA. If you are interested contact me at m_pselvam@yahoo.co.uk

I agree with Rajesh.

The most probable application for your requirements will be an application that is used to encrypt the data TO the destination directory.
That same application should then have functionality to decrypt the data FROM that directory into memory, or wherever it's required.

You could also look at an application called PrivateFile.

Where in the world is pendrive coming into picture?! It's just a matter of encrypting the contents.

Whatever you need to be secured, just encrypt it from your application. There are plenty of encryption algorithms, you'll have to choose your own. When you need to read it, decrypt it with your own app.

No, you can't do that. Is your app in C++, C# AND VB ? Whatever it's in, you'd have to encrypt your file contents, you can't lock the pen drive unless you write your own file system to format it in, instead of NTFS or FAT32
