Set up in security settings of folder only your account, in this way you will be able to open your folder(s).

At first you have to set a password on your Windows account, then you can encrypt the folder by using Encrypting File System.

To set a password on your Windows account, click the Start button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen and select Control Panel > User Account. If there is only one account on your computer, create a guest account for other users who use your computer and then set a password on your account.

To encrypt the folder, right-click it in the right pane of Windows Explorer and select Properties. Under the General tab, click the Advanced button and then select the Encrypt contents check box.
