If I have some folders or even a whole drive i'd like to keep password protected on my home PC, is it possible with XP pro?

XP pro by itself? no, you can encrypt contents but you better damn well not lose your XP install because that encryption is partially based on your account's login, so if you reinstalled XP, if you don't properly backup the SAM files (i think it's SAM) then you can't decrypt it.

YES.

Turn off "Simple file sharing" from the folder view, now you can set what logins can see what folders. Create one login for yourself and your porn, and enable the Guest login for everyone else in your house. Make sure "GOAT PORN" does not have access rights for All Users or Guest.
