In my opinion, you need a tool. There are a lot of good password protection tools. You can search "password protect folder" or "lock folder" etc. to find a proper one for yourself. Usually there are two types of encryption methods:
1. Create one password for whole your disk and drag all folders and files to this disk to protect them. This only asks you to set one password for all of them. But if you want to set separate passwords to protect different folder or files, this kind of software will not help you.
2. Create one password for every folder. You can drag files to one folder and set a password for this folder. This will fix the above trouble, that you can set uniform password for different kinds of files. The disadvantage is you must remember a list of passwords.
It depends on what type of files you want to password protect. If you mean general documents such as Office files(Word, Excel, PPT), PDF etc, then you can set a password with the internal feature equipped with. But the setback is you can't do it in batch.
Otherwise, a good way is to put them in a Folder lock Software, then you have one password to unlock all files in the volume.
One can password protect a folder or briefcase using certain software. The software is something like Winzip and will allow the user to password protect certain or all files. Of course, there's another kind of software that can be used to protect folders, such as Kakasoft Folder Protector(http://www.kakasoft.com/folder-protect).
