Win 9x attempted to protect "shares" with passwords (not very well). XP,
though, like NT and 2K, takes the more industry-conventional approach of
using passwords to verify user accounts, and then (IF your drive is
formatted using NTFS instead of FAT32!) associating access permissions with
various user accounts. Your best option is probably to find some way to get
this approach to meet your actual security needs.
There are various third-party utilities out there which do something like
what you want. Probably the simplest is to wrap each file/folder in a
passworded .zip file. Note that there's probably no good way to do this
with individual data files that are used by an application....
