nicely while you're utilising NTFS record format to your domicile windows Xp then you definitely might desire to create folders which at the instant are not obtainable decrease than one particular consumer. i'm uncertain in case you could set a password for one particular folder or record. yet you're able to do some thing like a definite folder isn't obtainable from one consumer account.

just right click on it and go to properties/security
also try tools options and personalize all of your folder and file settings, you can turn on/off view hidden files ("show hidden/system files") and just hide it instead of passwording it. To affect individual files in this mannor right click on the file and go to properties and click the next tab over and click the box on hidden.
