    Here's another option for you to, take any file and place it in a locked program that only you can open with a password.

    http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/
    look down the page under security/privacy
    file encryption tool (click)
    new page open and you will have alot of choices to look at, just read and find one that suites your needs.

    If you have a shared computer, then you should have it set up for different users, each having their own password.
