Think of it as a partition that is nearly as big as the drive
itself...a "room within a room" if you will only you need a key
(password) to get into the inner room. When you mount the thumb
drive on the desktop and then double click on it, you'll see another
disk image on your thumb drive. Double click on the other image and
you will be prompted for a password. Then, that image will also
mount on the desktop. So you will have two images on the desktop at
that point. Anything you drag into the encrypted image will be
password protected.
Maybe someone else on the list knows how to create these images on
Windows. (Sorry, I don't know much about Windows...just the basics
of running certain programs)
On a Mac, you use Apple's Disk Utility to do this.
Or you can have Automator create one for you:

Again, sorry Dennis that I'm not more of a help with doing this on
Windows...can anyone else on the list explain how to do this on a
Windows machine?
Best,
Karen

I think I have mentioned this before but I highly recommend wiping
the thumb drive and then putting a blank encrypted disk image on the
thumb drive. Then, mount the encrypted image and then drag whatever
you are putting on the drive into the encrypted image.
I'm not following this. Could you explain how an encrypted disk
image is
made and used (I'm on Windows)?
