How can I put a password on a important system file?

I block certain websites using Windows XP’s HOSTS file. However, I would like to know how I could put a password on this file so that no one can unblock the restricted websites. Thanks in advance!

You can download a encryption software to protect it.
Encryption Shield can help you do that.
It can encrypt files of any type or length.
