setup a seperate profile for that friend, and make sure you save your files and pictures in my documents. assuming you have default settings then they wont be able to view your files when they log in under their own account.

I think you need windows xp pro to do that.  With xp pro you can put a password on any function in any program.  You will need to upgrade to pro and put a password on the delete history button.

I assume you are talking abt password protecting files or folders on your computer.\n\n1. Add all the files you want to protect to a zip folder. Right click the file and click "SEND TO" then select COMPRESSED (ZIPPED) FOLDER. \n\n2. Once the folder is created , you simply click and drag more files to add to the folder.\n\n3. then double click the folder and a window will pop up. Go to file and hit ADD PASSWORD. It will let you set a password to this zip folder.\n\nLet me know if this helps..

On a Mac you can use Filevault (system preferences) or you can create encrypted disk images with Disk Utility (Applications:Utilities) and store your sensitive data in them. \n\nYou're never really safe with Windows, but there are ways to lock folders. Try doing a web search for locking folders.

When you create a password, write it down and keep it in a secure place. If you lose the password, you cannot open or gain access to the data in a password-protected workbook.\n\nOn the File menu, click Save As. \n Show Me \n\nOn the Tools menu, click General Options.\n\n\nIn the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK. \nPasswords are case sensitive. Type the password exactly as you want users to enter it, including uppercase and lowercase letters. \n\nIn the Reenter password to proceed box, type the password again, and then click OK.\n\n\nClick Save.\n\n\nIf prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook with the open workbook. \nNote   If you add a password-protected workbook to a binder, the password protection is lost. You will be prompted to enter the password when you add the workbook to the binder, but the protection is removed after it becomes a binder section.

When you are ready to save your document, click on "save as," and then a window box will appear.  Click on the "tools" pull down menu in that window box, and then select "general options."  Here you will find a spot to put in a password for "password to open" and "password to modify."  Put a password in each box, and then hit enter.  (Do yourself a favor, and use the same password for each box.)  It will prompt you to enter the passwords again.  Then SAVE your document.  That's it.  Now no one will be able to either OPEN or LOOK at your document without the secret password.  (The other two prior answers are incorrect.)

you need to enable file sharing.\n\nWindows XP lets you share a computer's disks and folders with other computers on the network, using a method called Simple File Sharing. And it really is simple. If a disk or folder is shared, everyone on the network can access it. There are no user permissions and no passwords. Because sharing in this way is so wide open, Windows XP tries to protect you from some potential security risks.\n\nCheck the link it will answer your queries

You can't actually password protect a single "folder" but you can with a zip file. Just create a new zipped folder and add your personal info and then select "add password" under the file menu when you open the zip file.

depending on where your file came from, you can try to go back and see if theres a password.\n\nIf you got it orm a friend, they may have forgotten to include the pw\n\ntry googling the file, or going to downloads.com
