I thought XP could do encrypted folders... I wonder if it's built in. Ask google.

Alternately just zip the files and have a password for the zip file. The caveat is people can see the filenames inside an encrypted zip, they just can't extract the files. Double zipping works around that.

Here you go... LINK (external link).

There are some bad things about this methods... Personally, I would go with TrueCrypt (external link)(just remember to save the program itself since newer versions may not work with older ones).
