    Protecting folder with password


    I use one windows account which is admin, is there still a way to lock a folder with a password from anyone else that might get on my computer?

    The easiest way to do that would be using a third-party encryption program.

    I recommend the free Truecrypt.

    You can create an encrypted, virtual hard drive or file container and put the folder or files in there.

    I am with you, I wish there was a built-in way to password protect a folder.
