Right click your folder and click on Sharing and Security - there is a box to click to make the folder private.

If you can't click it - go to the bottom and click the help link to sharing and security - the full explanation (for the different types of networks) will show up there.

well, i don't need anything advanced... just a simple password when you click the folder. how can I make it so that I can click that "Make the folder private" box?

Without third party tools you cannot add passwords to specific folders. Folders are protected at the user account level.

Follow the link at the bottom - the HELP page comes up with explanations - depending on your type of network setup - follow the steps and voila....... You may want to take JC's suggestion on encrypting though.
