Would it not be better to put the files on a pen drive and keep it with you always?

I am not an expert at all in the field of encryption but one thing would certainly worry me: If the disk or the operating system fail and data has to be recovered, It could be much more complicated. Since these are common problems I would think twice before employing encryption.

You can protect your user account and screen saver with complex passwords. You can also protect the Administrator account (seen only in safe mode) by a password. You may also consider a firewall like ZoneAlarm (free) in which security level can be set to keep your computer invisible to other net users.
