As said you'll struggle to find anything free which is more secure than Truecrypt. You don't password protect/files and folders as such with truecrypt. They are stored in a password protected well encrypted container, alternatively you can encrypt a full drive including the OS.0

Right Click the Folder and select properties. Go to Advanced and select make this folder as private. This is the easiest method to protect any file.0
