Otherwise the issue with options 1) and 3) is that there's only 5 GB of free space on the disk and I don't have a suitable external media to store the files temporarily (external hard drive for example). TrueCrypt supports dynamic file containers that would allow me to move the files, but apparently the Linux version does not support NTFS file containers. I may instead manage to free up 10 GB and move Ubuntu to a EXT partition instead. This way I can do watever I like with the NTFS partitionn.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I fear that making /host with permissions 700 might make ubuntu not boot at all. I will reasearch into the way Wubi mounts the partitions during startup and will let you know if this works.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Hopefully, I won't mess up something since this is the same partition where the Wubi Virtual Disks are located.

TrueCrypt is a good option, but it would require that all files get moved to a virtal partition or drive. In this situation it wouldn't do it as the folder takes most of my hard drive and there is no way to create a TrueCrypt file or partition. Would encrypting the files from Windows properties make them inaccessible in Ubuntu?
