Safe way to list passwords on a computer

Is there a relatively safe way to store a list of passwords and
sign-up info on a computer? I have no reason to think that anybody
would be interested in me or what I do, and from all the tests I've
run, at places like GRC.COM, my firewall is doing a swell job of
keeping me in stealth mode. Computers are great tools for organizing
and that's the temptation: I want to organize my scads of user names
and passwords to gain entry to various groups and email accounts.

I'm not interested in buying a new program, and already have the
typical office programs like various word processing programs, Excel,
and Access.

Maybe encrypting some files would do the trick? I've never done that.

If you have some suggestions, please postum. As I said, my stuff
isn't important to anybody really (except someone who just wants to
mess with me because they can) and I have no reason to think that my
computer security has been violated.
