Windows XP has the Zip that can be lock using password.

There is no need for third party software that lock folder.

Secondly, you might want to try hide them using the hidden option in the properties of the file but you will need to use Folder Option to view hidden file.

There think there are 2 ways to do this.

1. Open windows explorer and find folder where the files sit. Right click on the folder name and then select ''Sharing and Security''. A dialog box will open. In the ''Local sharing and security'' make sure you check the ''Make this folder private'' check box.

In the ''Network sharing and security'' section make sure the ''share this folder on the network'' is unchecked, i.e. there is no tick make in the box.

This will stop people on your network from viewing the folder and it's contents. However if they log in as you, then they will be able to see the folder and access it's contents.
