I want to encrypt a certain number of files that I keep on a memory
stick.

Is there a program that creates a password-protected container file that
I can put on the memory stick and then drag and drop programs into.

I need to open the files on any of a number of other computers, so I
must be able to get at the files simply using the password and not by
having a decrypting program on the computer I am using. Although maybe a
program that I could keep on the memory stick might be an option.

try self-extracting zip files with password
i thinking of zip your file with password
and then convert to exe files !!! works here.

TrueCrypt
http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/
# It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a
real disk.

# It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB
memory stick, floppy disk, etc.

# Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces
you to reveal the password:

1) Hidden volume (more information may be found here).

2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (TrueCrypt volumes cannot be
distinguished from random data).

# Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent
(256-bit key), Triple DES, and Twofish (256-bit key). Supports cascading
(e.g., AES-Serpent-Twofish).

# Based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, which was conceived in
1997.

I always thought you need Truecrypt on the computer used to read the
encrypted partition. Or is the partition accessible on any computer I
plug the memory stick into?

AxCrypt works great for this. It's 1-click encryption/decryption and can
even create exe files you can run off the stick on another machine that
doesn't have AxCrypt installed. Incredible piece of freeware! Get it at:
