Encrypting C:\Users on Windows 7

Is there a way to encrypt C:\Users on Windows 7?

I've tried TrueCrypt with whole partition encryption and it doesn't work because I don't have 32kb free in my boot sector (Apple's Boot Camp I presume). I've created an encrypted module with the intention of mounting it on U:\ and have that be users, but I cannot configure system-favirotes mounts with TrueCrypt because of the same 32kb problem.

BitLocker is not an option because I don't have the hardware requirements.

Is there any other options? Would PGP Desktop work here?

Hey, Mark, you should put that into an answer, it seems like that's the solution. If you don't create the answer I'll do it myself but I think you deserve the credit. – pupeno – 2009-12-22T16:01:37.143

No TPM? You can actually use BitLocker without a TPM.
