I do not know a programmatic way to do what you want. Someone else may come along who does, but in case not: 1) TrueCrypt has a tutorial here[^] on how to do it with their software, which I believe is free. 2) Zip the confidential data in a password protected *.zip file. There are several free Zip Libraries for .NET. (google) 3) Get a U3 enabled drive such as this[^] one which comes with security enabled. The link is a UK one, but it is the drive that you should look at.

There is no method to do with without writing an extension to NTFS, which you can't do in VB.NET or C#.
