I would go with Frank's suggestion of passwording the file although there are
password crackers out there freely available on the 'net so if your data is
extremely sensitive you may re-think this.

If using WindowsXP...........

You can set permissions to restrict access to particular folders.

HOW TO: Set, View, Change, or Remove Special Permissions for Files and
Folders in Windows XP
