Default password protect only certain folders or files

I've got xp home edition and am the only user. I don't want a password
for my entire computer, but I would like to have passwords for a few
folders and files. How do you set up a password for only one or two
folders? thanks

You can password protect compressed (zipped) folders in windows

Make sure that you use a password that will be easy for you to
remember but not easy to guess. If you lose the password you will
be unable to access your files.
