Nice one rik, i might recommend truecrypt. Some hardrive when you buy have already this function that allow you to protect your files in your harddrive. If you also want to password protect a thumb drive the steps are similar. There is a link here that explains although i don't think this is what you are looking for. If you want any password protect software, i can tell. I have a lot to recommend.
