There are many ways to achieve this. Simplest is via NTFS restricted to
local groups you set up on your machine. "Use the Welcome screen" must be
turned off (Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on or
off) so that each user can use his/her own account to login.
To further secure a folder, you could toggle EFS (Encrypting File System)
via Properties > General > Advanced > Encrypt contents to secure data. Make
sure you backup the private key just in case.
Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!
