Default [Resolved] password protect a folder but there seems to be no way of doing it

All i want to do is be able to set a password on a folder in XP home. I know i can set a password for My Documents so other users can't share the contents, i just want a free way of password protecting a folder in case i am away from the PC and it hasn't gone to the XP startup screen. Any help?
