Is it possible to set a password on a folder in Windows
XP. Do I need admin rights??

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

Alternatively, you can compress the folder, and set a password to
uncompress its contents.
