Password Protected Folder???

[SamIchi]

Can I place a password for certain folders that I don't want others to access? I've searched and saw that I can create and image to do this, but I don't want to load an image everytime I need to access it. Can I just place a password on a current folder, or is the image the only way to do it?

Basically, the disk image is the only built-in way to do it.

I think there are a few third-party utilities that claim to be able password-protect folders, but I've never tried any of them.
