Without third party software, NO, no so far as I have seen from looking around. I do not know of third party software either. <br />
<br />
You can consider passwords on documents. This would work for a few documents, not for many documents<br />
<br />
I would look for third party encryption applications where you can encrypt the USB key with a key that you can give to someone else.

Look in Office. File, Protect Document will give you the option to add a password. Once added it is tricky to remove, so be sure you want this kind of security (encryption or document passwords).

You can zip your files into archives using 7-Zip, and password protect them. You can use encryption for that which is very secure.<br />
<br />
7-zip is free and the best zipper available, so everyone should have it anyway...:<br />

USB Drive Security

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
