I have used Truecrypt on Windows XP and it is nice software. It is very easy
to use. It allows you to create an encrypted file that, when mounted, acts
just like a disk partition. Or you can encrypt an entire partition. It also
has excellent control over when and how a file/partition is mounted (i.e.,
mount at start up or do it manually) and how long a file/partition will stay
mounted (i.e., dismount all partitions when the computer is locked).
