No. Windows 9x supports only FAT file systems. FAT was not designed to offer security features.
If you need file security you will need to use NTFS as your file system. NTFS is supported by NT-based operating systems. Depending on the capabilities of your hardware, I would recommend changing your operating system to either NT4 (old )or XP (new). Then you will be able to control access to files on your PC.
Alternatively, store sensitive data on removable storage, eg. floppy disk, zip disk, or flash drive.
