You could always do what I do. Create a word document, list them in there, then save the document passworded read / write access only.

Encrypting files is only a Feature of Windows XP Pro, i presume you have XP Home.
EDIT: ^^ Nuff said 
BTW - are you wanting to encrypt files or for something to store all your passwords, your original post looked like the latter to me?

Re: i'm looking for a password file protect
There is an open source software called Truecrypt.
I have not used it yet but its meant to be very good.
http://www.truecrypt.org/
Main Features: - Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
- Encrypts an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB flash drive.
- Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
- Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
1) Hidden volume (steganography – more information may be found here).
2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
- Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish.
Mode of operation: LRW (CBC supported as legacy).
