ahahahaha 
well not just for that reason
ok i got www.download.com but what shareware?
well mark… depending on how you have the users setup and if the computer is on a network will need to be answered.
if you right click on the folder and go to the security settings you can adjust it so that only your username can open the folder. this will work on a network or if you log onto that computer with numerous account… if not… then my information is useless.
if you dont’ access the files all the time ,yuou can simply zip them with winzip and put a password on it.

This was in the description " This program is not intended for use on NT-based operating systems like Windows XP."
Is there a newer version?

:greddy: take it to aim
magic folders…its freeware, and it not only password protects them, but it makes them invisible…you’ll know what i mean if you download it. i think tucows has it
Yep,
That would be my suggestion as well, unless you are setup on a domain or have the administrator password set to something stupid.
This uses the builtin system of xp which is a much better than using some 3rd party program.
