I would like to learn how to encrypt the data on one of those USB
Flash drives so I can give or mail sensitive data and be assured that
if lost or stolen the data cnanot be read without the password.

I don't see a group for WinXP and this one seems to have almost
traffic. Is there some other place where I can ask?

I apologize if this seems harsh.  If you weren't successful in searching
for XP newsgroups or security, do you believe you are going to be able
to install, use and maintain something like TrueCrypt?

Take more time and care.

Well, I don't know if it was too harsh, but it might be just a bit
presumptuous. ;-) Do you think not knowing which group to post to
automatically disqualifies a person for being able to understand
encryption software?

I did search for both WinXP and Security groups. There are many WinXP
groups, but none with the word security (ie, no direct counterpart to
this one). Is that incorrect? There are a lot of security groups. I
did post to one of them, but I thought someone might help me select
the most appropriate one.

I'll check out TrueCrypt and try my best not to be too stupid or too
impatient. ;-)  Thanks for the pointer.
