1Create Password Locked Folder In Windows 11 - Keep Files Safe!
How to lock and unlock important files and folders on your Windows 10 device by locking them in a secret/hidden folder. You can place this folder wherever you like on your computer, and you need a password to unlock it. This requires no third party software and is free to setup using features included with Windows.
PLEASE NOTE: YouTube does not allow direct upload of small brackets into video descriptions. I had to uppercase two brackets (what looks like a right arrow near the bottom of your keyboard). You need to lowercase the bracket (meaning small version of ＞ instead of large one). in the following two locations: 1) immediately after cho= AND 2) pass= .Make sure you do not cut off the "" when you are typing this text in.
