I don't think you can within XP itself, but if you can it would be handy to know.

There are apps such as Lock Folder XP etx that can do the job for you, another way around it would be to just give yourself permissions to open it and remove all the other group permissions from the folder properties

I believe if you encrypt the folder, only a certain user can get to it. You might want to look up File encryption. This is only availble in XP pro I believe. There are som issues if you copy things from encryped folders, so read the help carefully.

You could modify the acl of the folder to just grant acces to your user.
