for this u need to have a third party software. if u r using xp and ntfs file system u can do it. but without all these u can still protect ur files. follow these steps.

first copy the file/s into a folder on some drive say for c:\
let the folder name be anything like (important)
go to dos mode (for windows 98se) or cmd prompt (for xp)
go to the location where the folder (important - in our example) is located here it is C:\
u should see at the dos prompt like this C:\
now using the ren (rename) command rename the important folder to a ascii coded folder name.
e.g: c:\ren important Alt+158
(u need to hold the Alt key and press the 1,5&8 keys on the numpad only (important) any other three digit number also works eg. 164, 171, 198 etc.
now it is locked no one can open it or delete it.

now to unlock follow the same method
go to the same location and
c:\ren Alt+158 important
the folder is again renamed to important now u can access it.any one can access it. (i don't know whether it works in xp or not)

No, you may desire to not installation/use Limewire. For starters, Limewire is against the regulation to apply for what you like to apply it for (it quite is, illegally downloading music/video clips/etc). Secondly, Limewire (and different filesharing courses) are plagued with viruses. you may very, very actual infect your computer using Limewire.
