Smart idea too.. but the problem is, most computer on which I will be using the key do not have winzip installed.

Self extracting archive or put the winzip setup on the key or install it on the other computer, etc etc

Might be possible by encrypting the files in Windows (Google for a HowTo)

Good idea, but that will only encrypt one file right? I would like to encrypt a whole folder..

No, what would the use of winzip/winrar be if it couldn't archive folders?

Anyway, my USB pen drive came with password protection program, and stupidly the other day I decided to try it out. Well, guess what, after it had been protected (through an exe on a virtual floppy drive it creates) I tried unlocking it, but the program to do that just gave me an error "Please insert the device".

I tried everything, but there's no way.. now I can't access the disk. It's completely unusable. (and no it's not some easy-to-bypass thing, it actually causes Windows to not recognise the drive until you unlock it).

Self extracting archive means you don't need to install anything.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
