Hi,
There have already been many excellent suggestions regarding this topic.
I just thought I'd make mention of another product to add to the mix:
SafeGuard PrivateCrypto
http://www.utimaco.com/privatecrypto/eng_privatecrypto.html
I don't personally use the product, but know a few people who do and are
quite happy with it.
It isn't opensource, but it is free for personal use.
As people have already mentioned - if anyone gains access to the machine,
the data could be at risk...

Subject: Protect folder data.
Hi,
I have some highly confidential data that I frequently access on in a folder
that is on my desktop computer (ie win2k). I want to make sure no one but
me will able to see this data. Does anyone know of any freeware\shareware
that will
1) en-crypt the data in the folder and/or
2) require a password to open up the folder?
I need to make sure a person like our lan admin or desk top support person
can not figure out a way to get to the data.
