ok those people who answered you b4 are stupid
listen to me
im sorry this is going to seem long but it really isnt.
lock ur profile so that nobody just go in there and look at it any way
then what you are going to is put it into My documents
then right click the My Documents
go down to properties, click on the sharing tab then click make this folder private
then any thing you put into that folder will be locked away only for your eyes to see

I don't think you can. You can password your whole account, but not individual folders within that account.
The only way that I know of is to 'zip' or compress them. Any utility that will do that will generally allow you to create a password.

You can't for a file or folder, but you can for your account so that nobody can get to the folder or file you don't want anyone to see.
-Go to Start
-Control Panel
-User Accounts
-Then when it goes there, click User Accounts under, "or pick a Control Panel icon"
-Click on your name
-Then Click on Create a Password
Thats all!
Hope I helped! :D

Ok, I'ma going to assume this is what your talking about, if not lemme know and I'll try it again...lol. on your screen right click and a list of options should come up Arrange Icons by, Refresh, Undo Delete and so on, what your looking for is "New" click that and your first option that should come up is folder, once you click that it automatically goes on your screen along with your other yahoo messenger, internet explorer, other icons. you can label it what you want and just open the folder and save the password or whatever you wanted to be put in it.
