How to password/encrypt protect folders in Windows 10?

[robertbruce]

I want to password protect a couple of folders in Windows 10. The file contents are already protected BUT I want the extra security blanket of folder passwording.

 

I cannot figure our how to do this. Can you please help?

 

Many thanks

Hi Robert,

 

There is no app or feature built into Windows 10 that will allow you to lock the contents. Are you doing this so other people using your computer cannot gain access to them?

 

One option you might have is to use EFS. Only you, the person who encrypts with EFS will be able to OPEN the document.

Hope that helps.
