You could change the permissions for the folder you want to protect

Right click on the folder to be protected, select 'sharing and security'
click the security tab and change the permissions so only you can access the
folder. Obviously you'll need a password protected administrator account
only you can use, and a restricted account(s) for everyone else for this to
work.
