Hi Poly,
Right click the File/Folder and select share & security from the drop down
menu and you can make it private or assign a password for each user you would
like Him/Her to view/read or edit the File/Folder on the Local LAN or WAN
Network.
Hope this Helps

How to set password on Shared Documents folder (win XP home), to ask
password before accessing via LAN?
Like WinNT and Win2K before it, WinXP's file security paradigm
doesn't rely on, or allow, the cumbersome method of password protection
for individual applications, files, or folders. Instead, it uses the
superior method of explicitly assigning file/folder permissions to
individual users and/or groups.

Of course, if you have WinXP Pro, you can encrypt the desired

As a crude work-around, you can place the file in a compressed
folder, and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents. Also, some applications allow the user to password-protect
their specific data files. Read the specific application's Help files
for further information on this capability.

And that cannot be done at all, without first installing a third party
application.
