No. You can only encrypt folders (but they'll be transparently decrypted if you're logged in).

Depends on what you're trying to do, and what file system you're using?

As Seamus hints, best thing to do is to adjust the permissions on the folder, granting access to those people you want. This only works on NTFS.

Cheers
