Create a compressed folder > File > Add Password.

Hi,

By zipping it (send to--> compressed folder) first, yes (after zipping it
will be in the file menu). Otherwise no, XP file/folder security works on a
set of permissions, not passwords.

And when you forget a zip password there are plenty of utilities available
on the web to crack it. How secure do you want your data to be?

WinZip with 256 bit encryption and a 21+ byte password that includes caps, spaces, and special
characters should only take a few years to crack...
