The easiest way is to create separate user accounts and set permissions
and/or restrictions with Group Policy (if you have XP Pro). Only one
person (you) should have an account with administrative privileges (not
counting the built-in Administrator account, which should have a strong
password).
If there is some strange reason that you cannot create different user
accounts, then you can put restricted files in a zipped archive and
password-protect the zip file.
If you want more focused help, please post back with the version of XP
that you are running, if it is on a domain or workgroup, and why you
can't create separate user accounts. Also, are you the systems
administrator or just a regular employee who wants privacy on a
corporate computer? If you are the latter, there is no privacy on a
corporate computer and you should keep all personal files at home. This
may also be an issue for your Human Resources and IT Depts.
