In XP you cannot password protect folders unless you compress them first.
To do this, open My Documents, click File, Create new folder. Once created, left click on the New Folder. Click on File, Add to archive. Then follow directions and set your options / password, etc...Once finished, you can just drag and drop files into that folder and they will be password protected.
Or, if you have multiple user accounts, right click a folder, sharing and security, general, advanced. Click encrypt contents to secure data. The folder name will display different color now. Only your user account can now access this folder.
