Password protection on folders?

Is it possible to individual password protect folders in Win98SE. I would like full access for my usual users but would like to password protect some folders. If this is not possible under 98SE is there some other programme that can be used.

I think I've found the answer to my own post. The simple answer is NO, but I could use "Magic folders" or "Hide Folders". Has anybody used these at all and can rate them?

Its not smart to use WinZIp, because then you have to put ALL of your files in a compressed format, and that can just be the pits. I suggest getting some program off of the internet. Its much easier.
