Is there any way to password protect a shared folder in XP Pro?

I am on a network that is set up as a workgroup.
I am running Windows XP Professional.
There are many people on this workgroup network.
I would like to share a folder on my C: drive for files used between three
of us.
I don't want the rest of the workgroup to have access to the files.
I don't have any control over the network setup.
I can only control the settings on my computer.
Can I share a folder on my computer and then password protect it so that
only those who have the password can access the folder and its contents.

Any help would be greatly appriciated. Hopefully I've provided all
information nescessary.
