If you right click a folder, then click advanced you can select 'Encrypt Contents'.
I've never used it so can't say much about how it works, but hope this is what you need.

To encrypt a folder or file
You can encrypt files and folders only on volumes that use the NTFS file system not a FAT file system
Right-click the folder or file you want to encrypt, and then click Properties.
Click the General tab, and then click Advanced.
Select the Encrypt contents to secure data check box, and then click OK.

It encrypted the file and the only user that can access it right now is you. It wanted you to save a backup of the encryption key, in the worst case scenario you will need this to unencrypt the file otherwise the file is lost.
Login as another user and try and access the file.. it will not be accessible.

no it will always be available while logged into your account. Otherwise you need a 3rd party application i.e. folderlock
