Secure or Password protect a folder



I use XP Pro SP2 and desire to secure (and preferably password protect a
folder, or at least a file. I have found the ability to right click the
folder and select properties | security and select "deny" for all of the
"permissions for administrators". I have 3 specific questions about this.

1. I have 3 options in the "Groups or user names": "Administratior", "Bob"
(note I am an administrator), and "System". Can I deny permissions to
"general users" by highlighting the "System" option?
2. If I do this, log onto my account, and step away from my compter, can
someone else step up to my computer and access the folder wtih using a
password?
3. Is there a way to password protect a folder?

Thanks for your help.
Bob
