Download a 3rd party app. from
www.folder-password-expert.com
Shareware, Free trial version
Never tried it myself, read it in a Lockergnome newsletter.

Another (costfree) option:
Create a WinZip Archive. Add all the files you want to protect. Create another, password protected, WinZip Archive. Add the first one to the second one. Now you can only access the files if you enter the password. With this method the folder is not protected but it's content. Even the filenames are hidden. Deletion is possible, of course.
Just an idea.
