In XP Pro you could create a username and password, then assign only that user permissions to the folder, so that anyone else who tries to access it gets prompted for the correct username and password.
You can't assign only a password though as far as I'm aware...

Folder Lock
(easy to use but it causes Windows Movie Maker to not allow files being imported for some strange reason)

Be very careful, you can easily lock yourself out of the folder!
Google search for: password protect folder
Better yet, use a CD-RW and keep the folder off your PC.

Encrypting is risky. If anything changes your user account settings the wrong way, like a crash recovery, the encryption will no longer work. The best way is to make individual user accounts for the machine and then set the security on the folder to your own ownership, and only to allow yourself full control. This is a far safer way to allow others on the machine, they can not destroy your settings, and if you make them normal users with no admin rights, it stops them downloading and installing all those great free infected programmes you carefully avoid. (They probably avoid them on their own machines.)

Xp Pro; Right Mouse Click; Security; Decide who has access, and who does not; This is on an MS Network, you can decide levels of access, and levels of viewing, even wether or not the file is there.
Not a Good Solution on a Novell Network
