Passwording files on your own computer

[linz]

Can anyone tell me how I can password a folder on my own
computer, I am not networked and understand about files
sharing but I would like to be able to password a whole
folder and not just the files with in it. And can I make
it so the box that opens when the curser is on the file be
made so it does not show the first couple of lines of that
file. Thanks
