I'm about to lend my laptop to my cousin and I have personal documents, projects, videos, and photos on my computer that he is not supposed to see.
I have a windows xp and I don't want to open a guest acount because that would limit his use to most programs I have installed on my laptop.

I would use compression programs such as winzip and winrar to compact the files u have and password protect it. That should do the trick! ;)

Right click on any file or folder in your PC, go to the properties then the Security tab; Change the tab setting for that file or folder to what you want, you should be able to password protect it, or even hide it if you want!

how about just backing up the file from ur laptop on a cd or dvd and them deleting them from the harddisk.
or u may use a locking program . i think there's a software called "folder lock"

you can zip everything into one folder and then password protect that folder. right click on folder, send to compressed (zipped) folder, then you can password protect it.
