If you are using Word or Excel, you can password protect your documents from with in the program

If you are using XP and depending which version Home or Pro, you can encrypt folders anc keep your documents in that folder. For Pro do the following:
1. Select the folder you wish to encrypt.
2. Right-click the folder and click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced button.
4. Check "Encrypt contents to secure data" option.
5. Click Ok.
For Home (if you are using NTFS
1. Select the folder you wish to encrypt.
2. Right-click the folder and click Properties.
3. Click the Sharing tab.

Two free third party solutions are AxCrypt and WinCry
