What you're thinking of has been asked a dozen times before...

You can't do this without a black-belt in writing NTFS Filesystem Extensions. You can't attach a password to a folder. It's just not practical because it's a huge pain to administer. Protecting the contents of a folder is what NTFS permissions is for.

You CAN, however, do something along the lines of how Windows XP handles .ZIP files. You can double-click any .ZIP file and XP/2003 will treat it as though it's a folder. Password protected .ZIP's are, however, not supported. This would require you to write a Shell Extension. Again, not for the faint of heart or weak in COM Interop skills.

Looking at your post history tells me that you're nowhere near understanding Shell and NTFS internals enough to pull either of these things off.
