hi sorry no you can not lock/password folders you will

have to give them user names so you all log in and you
be the master then block them from going to(ie) say my
program

WinXP's file security paradigm doesn't rely on, or allow, the
cumbersome method of password protection for individual applications,
files, or folders. Instead, it uses the superior method of explicitly
assigning file/folder permissions to individual users and/or groups.

As a work-around, you can place the file in a compressed folder,
and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents.
