Has anyone tried Dekart Private Disk Lite ?

I think it's be better than the PricelessWare E4M

Dekart can be put on a floppy, carried to an other computer and it will work !
no installation required
Also the GUI is very small and simple

Yes - I have been using it for some considerable time over several versions
(since 1.12). It does need to be installed on XP but operates reliably. I
use it every day with a 2Gbyte file. I also use it on a DVD+RW using INCD
for backup to an encrypted file so that my backups are protected. I
recommend it to everyone that needs encryption.

I could break 1.12 and 1.13 if I tried very hard using XP pro!. I haven't
tried the same trick with 1.21. the trick was

Create an encrypted folder
format with NTFS
Compress the folder
Open the folder
switch to a different user using fast user switching
Shutdown XP from that second user without closing private Disk
-> Blue Screen

I can forgive it breaking under those conditions!

Really ? I installed it on my Windows Me, copied it's directory to a
CDRW and it runs from the CD on Windows XP, without installing
