Securing your desktop
Spent the evening looking at security options now that my new ThinkPad laptop is up and running. Wanted to at least have a small number of encrypted files on my drive for PGP keys, frequent flier numbers, etc. and didn't want another license to DriveCrypt (which works great but gets pricey and doesn't work well with mobile media). En
ded up stumbling across Cryptainer LE which has a free version but only allows creation of VERY small (20MB) containers and 128-bit encryption. At least marginally useful enough for keeping a small container of sensitive files that can easily be transported on a USB disk to other machines. Previous versions limited to 100MB.
Looks like DriveCrypt (or the more expensive BestCrypt) is the only other reasonable solution today under Windows, unfortunately pricey and not a good option for travelers who may need to load secure contents on numerous machines.
