Windows XP has Encrypting File System (EFS) feature that disallows other users on the computer to access them. Encrypted files and folders show up in Windows Explorer as green. Encrypted files or folders does not need any special method to access it, you open them and close them as you normally would any other file. They're immediately decrypted as you open them, and then encrypted back as you close them. EFS does have few minor limitations:
EFS works only on NTFS volumes.
EFS won't work on compressed files.
EFS can't compress files in the C:\Windows folder or any files marked with the System attribute.
To Encrypt any file or folder Right-click on the folder or file, Choose Properties -> General -> Advanced. The Advanced Attributes dialog box appears. Check the box next to "Encrypt contents to secure data." Click OK.
