Yes. It must be on an NTFS partition. Right click the folder, select properties, security. Remove permissions for everyone, then add Full Control for just the users that should access the folder. You may have to disable inheritance in the Advanced screen. More on permissions.

Fat32 does not support security or file permissions. You're only option is to convert the file system to NTFS. – Chris S – 2010-03-09T19:01:16.503
