Other option might be to see if there's any native programs/support for
encrypted folders with passwords. Something like an encrypted zip file,
but the operating system recognises that it's meant to be treated as a
folder.
(Note that the password/encryption on ordinary zip files is rather weak
and definatly shouldn't be used for anything that absolutely has to be
kept secret.)
