Ello.
OK, I know that XP can be setup with different user accounts and thus protecting access to my 'section' of things. However, I would like the ability to password protect files and/or folders. Anyone recommend/got any software to do this? Does not need to be mega-strength 512bit encrypted stuff, just something quick n simple to use.
thanks.

You can set security on files/folders in XP to stop other users from accessing them - provided the drive is formatted NTFS.
On top of that, XP can encrypt files and folders too. Look in file properties then advanced.
