Just let me get on my desktop and figure it out again. I'll post a screenshot. There's a way on my laptop (Vista), but haven't figured it out yet.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.

While this is Helpful, it forces you to create a password for your entire account, which is not what I want to do on a sharred computer. Everyone uses the same account at my house (Stupid, yes) and I would like some of my personal files kept hidden.
Any OTHER ways I can cover my porn *cough* i mean downloads *cough* invisble?
Now, the password thing apparently only works when the person trying to break into your file is doing so from a separate user account on the computer. So the solution to this whole thing is to make one account for yourself an admin account and password it and configure accounts for everyone else with their own passwords and always log out before getting up. Should solve some issues...
Verg, Tank's right. But, if you're as lazy as I am, then do this.
Right-Click on the folder you want undiscoverable, then click on Properties. There should be a checkbox labled "Hidden". Check this box. Then, the file should disappear. Then press Alt, click on Options. Then folder options, then the View tab. There a checkbox in there called "Show hidden files".
Check it.
Now you can see the hidden file. Once you get off the computer, just un-check that box I told you, the show hidden files one. That way, unless someone is really good at computers, they won't be able to see your files. Once you get back on, show them again. Simple.
Figured out how to password protect at least Office files.
Click File. Save as. In the upper right hand corner, there should be "options". Click that. Then click Security Options.
Assign a password "Password" Click OK. It makes you confirm it, then you're good.:)
Oh, there's 2 password boxes. You can just password 1 of the boxes, then they can open the file, but not edit it without the password. You decide.

Oh, also, if you compress a folder, then right-click on it when it's done compressing, right under "Extract all" there should be an "assign a password" option.
