Use e.g. TrueCrypt.

I asked this question on Microsoft Community Forums and got the answer that password protection can be done only for files; not at the folder level. They mentioned third party programs but I was not comfortable with that.

Here are the details of that post along with responses: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-security/folder-password-protecting-in-win-8/dd8ec28b-3124-43ff-b53a-0c6da6dfde65
