No. Windows XP esn't offer that useful facility. Instead you have to
use the complicated permissions scheme, which isn't even available if
you have the FAT32 file system that most manufacturers install by
default.

Truecrypt (.org) is probably your best workaround. Don't lose the password
though!

It's either that or put the files on a server and use share security, which
is the approach used on most larger sites.
