If you have a folder on your C: Drive, can you protect the contents of the entire folder with a password. I know you can password protect documents and spreadsheets, but how do you restrict access to the entire folder?
 
If you use Windows NT/XP Professional (at least I think you need Pro and the feature is disabled on my XP Home installation) then you could use the .
 
I use XP at home and in the sharing and security tab of the folder there is a "make this folder private".

This might work.
