I am using windows xp and I have multiple confidential files. I wanted to keep it safe by protecting it with a password. Is there a way to this?

You should try to go for "Folder Password Protect" software. I am also using it for last two years and quite satisfied with its performance. I am sure it will also do the best for you.
