Password protect folders

Whenever someone comes over to my house (I live alone), if they need to use a PC, I let them use mine. Now when they want to check their e-mail or play some music off youtube that's fine, but when they're snooping around my folders (like what my mates do) that's not okay.

Now I know what some of you are thinking "dude just make a guest user and STFU", and my response to that is "well I don't live with someone, and I don't have company all the time so that is not necessary".

So I've been thinking about downloading some 3rd party folder password protection. Any recommendations?

sorry but you want to run a 3rd party programm, all the time and enter the passwords yourself- because, well you have to. instead of running a native guest user which doesnt take any space nor time to create?
