not sure if this is adding anything of value... but I have laptop (with
sensitive info work related) running xp pro too.. and I have a required
password right at the point of login.. and if I'm away from my desk.. or
briefly away, I hit the windows key on my dell and the L key .. and that
locks my machine..and only can be accessed when I input my password again.

if someone stole machine, the BEST they'd be able to do (I?? think??) is
reformat my drive and start from scratch. I could be wrong.

I do believe as well you can click on a folder and select the sharing
option.. and make that folder a private folder ?!?

not 100% on everything here, but hopefully something helps.

good luck
