Hey, I'm going to assume you are running Windows, so let me provide an easier solution rather than creating a password for a folder.
Instead, you can create a ZIP file which contains all the "private things" you want to store, then put a password on the zip file.
- Download WinZIP:
http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm- Install it by double-clicking on the file you downloaded
- Next, select all the private things you want to protect, right click on them and select "Add to Winzip".
- On the dialogue that will appear, you can add a password to your zip file, and then hit create.
That's it!
The file you created is called a "zip" file, and it contains all the private files you want to store. You can drag any new file you want to add on your zip file, and it will be added inside it (after you type your password). You can also take your zip file with you wherever you want!
It's a much easier solution that creating a password for a folder.

7zip can also do this, and it's completely free, but a bit harder to use:
