Password protecting/encrypting files & folders

Is it possible to password protect or encrypt folders? I am trying to
prevent someone logged on as a guest to view certain files on the D: drive.
I have Windows XP home and have the NTFS file system. I tried the program in
this thread http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/showthread.php?t=41119,
but it failed to install. I heard there is a file/folder encryption built
into Windows, but haven't figgured it out. Any suggestions?
