Greetings --
WinXP's file security paradigm doesn't rely on, or allow, the
cumbersome method of password protection for individual files or
folders. Instead, it uses the superior method of explicitly assigning
file/folder permissions to individual users and/or groups.
HOW TO Set, View, Change, or Remove File and Folder Permissions

Alternatively, you can compress the folder, and set a password to
uncompress its contents.
