Yes right click the folder select properties and go to security remove everyone but your account(with full permission) to the folder. If another user logs on with another account they will get access denyed. I am assuming you have seperate accounts.

Do you mean "protect" as in not allow access....or to hide the folder completely from any other user that logs in?
