Passwording a USB stick

Is it possible to password protect a whole USB stick? Ideally not even allowing the user to view the contents without entering the password.

Currently using Winrar to put files inside and password protect them, But if I do this with applications, They fail to work.

Try TrueCrypt http://www.truecrypt.org/

Will encrypt and password protect the usb stick

Can't believe I didn't think of that even though I use it all the time, Cheers.

Edit: Nevermind, Just created a batch file to mount it.

A question relating to TrueCrypt, Can you get it to automatically mount a volume once you run TrueCrypt, or even better, mount it once I put the USB stick in?
