Do things properly... put them on a linux/other operating system box and restrict access to them that way.. or use another OS 
More seriously though, you could go third party, and windows may not be a "true" multiuser environment (though that doesn't really relate to the security side of things imho), but it will still do what you want by simply adding a username, and restricting access to said folders or drives using NTFS permissions.
I may sound like a windows advocate here, but personally I can't see the point in using third party software to do something which the OS can do natively - that's just me. I manage large (500+ user) networks which are secured by NTFS permissions, granted it's a domain environment but security principles are the same on a standalone machine. That said I by no means prefer windows, but in your situation it seems you're stuck with it.
Depends how badly you don't want your data being seen, I guess.
