Sure, you can hide a file... many of the OS folders and files are hidden.
But anyone with access to your Vista login can display hidden files.
You can't password-protect a file.
You can password-protect your login account.
You can create login accounts for other users, and they shouldn't be able to
see your files, as long as you keep them out of public folders.
