I suspect he wants to do this just for the kicks.

Just for completion, Truecrypt does precisely what you need. It has to be installed, but you could carry the installer unencrypted in the same USB drive.

I am still fairly new to python and wanted to attempt a home made
password protection program.  There are files that I carry on a USB
flash drive that I would like to password protect.  Essentially, I
would like to password protect an entire directory of files.  Is there
a way to auto execute a python script after a user double clicks to
open a folder on the USB drive? How can you capture that double click
event on a specific folder?

Thanks.

    
Unless you are just doing this to learn, I would suggest you purchase
USB key with encryption included.  They are REALLY cheap.
