There is no way to do that as far as I know in xp unfortunately. If you use xp pro, you can limit file access to certain users, but since you are only going to have one user on the machine, that wont help you

There is a system called folder lock that has a folder in a program that is password blocked to get in to it. (so you can keep it private). (should not use for C: drive)
There is a free and a paid program for the program http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/ Folder Lock -------------------- If you don't know where to post a question you can click on the link to the right, to find out where you should post your question (Click Here to find out where to post a question)*Fixed Broken Links*&*UPDATED(new info)*
