Greetings --
Are you asking if you can password-protect an individual file in
WinXP? If so, the answer is "Not exactly." WinXP's file security
paradigm doesn't rely on, or allow, the cumbersome method of password
protection for individual files or folders. Instead, it uses the
superior method of explicitly assigning file/folder permissions to
individual users and/or groups.

As a work-around, you can place the file in a compressed folder,
and set a password to uncompress the folder to view/access its
contents.
