if you're using a windows system, pretty much the only way to do it is by making them into .zip or .rar archives and putting a pw. otherwise, there isn't really any in-built feature allowing this.
there might be ways on macs and linux, but i'm not really that familiar with those OSes.

Well in windows xp/2000 you can put rights on files and folders and deny access to other users.

Are their downloadable programs that let you password protect folders and avoid the user issue?
