Nothing native to XP Home that I'm aware of.

But gpg

is an encryption tool that can encrypt files such that a password or
certificate is required to read them.

Who needs to read these cd's and dvd's and how technical are they?

Yeah, if it's just one consumer of these you could go as simple as a
winzip password (which I believe in recent versions is actually
decently robust), or zip or tar up the files and then gpg the zip or
tar file.

There are more transparent and secure solutions, like filesystem
encryption. I know from personal experience that this works with Linux,
but it will not work too well with Windows (I couldn't get it to work
with it at all).

Security is the one concept, which makes things in your life stay as
they are. Otto is a man, who is afraid of changes in his life; so
naturally he does not employ security.
