You can't actually password protect a single "folder" but you can with a zip file. Just create a new zipped folder and add your personal info and then select "add password" under the file menu when you open the zip file.

You can do it with WinZip: in Windows Explorer, right-click the folder and select Add to Zip. In the Add dialog box, click the Password button in the lower-right corner, and then just follow the prompts.\nOnce you're sure your files are safe in their .zip file, delete the original folder and its contents securely.

I think you need windows xp pro to do that.  With xp pro you can put a password on any function in any program.  You will need to upgrade to pro and put a password on the delete history button.

If you have Microsoft Word, you can password-protect any file that you have. I have the same thing on my laptop and it is just like signing into something. It should be in your options in Microsoft if you do it that way

One easy way is to select the folders/files you want to encrypt.  Then right click on it and select \n\nSend To -> compressed (zipped) folder\n\nWhen that is done.  Double click on the new zip file.  After it opens, in the file menu, select "Add a password".  When finished, right click on the zip file and set the permissions so that only you can read/write to it.\n\nNote, other people may still be able to open the zip file and see some of the file names, but they won't be able to extract them w/o the password.
