Is there anyway that I can put a password on a folder,
say on my 2nd hardrive in which I can place files I do
not want others to be able to access. I do not want to
create to seperate user accounts to do this. I jsut want
to make it where you only have to type a password when
you want to access the folder specified.
 
Windows XP does not support password protecting individual folders.

HOW TO: Set the My Documents Folder as "Private" in Windows XP
