The behavior you are seeing is by design. All admin accounts have access (or can grant themselves access) to all files on the computer. Attempting to restrict such access is an exercise in futility. Only with limited accounts are such restrictions possible.

You can make a partition on the hard drive, and encrypt it with Truecrypt.

I think the software is also able to encrypt a single file or single folder too, if you would care to use it like that.
