Is there a way to secure a specific folder with a password or hide it from
view using XP Home?

You can "secure" a zipped folder, otherwise you need third party software
AFAIK.

Right-click folder > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder
Click on zipped folder and choose File > Add a password

Hi,

To password it, zip it (send to-->compressed file) and you will find a
password option on the file menu. To hide it, give it a hidden attribute
(attrib +h <folder>) and have folder options not show hidden and system
files.
