You can also encrypt a folder in properties.

[@darshanbendale]

How?? Tell stepwise procedure

[@mousequeen7220]

@@darshanbendale Right click the folder you want to encrypt and at the bottom click advanced, then also at the bottom should be an option to encrypt the folder. Now when a different user (or someone who for example stole your hardrive) will see the folder, (I am pretty sure the name is green in windows.) but will not be able to open it.

[@WolfyLex4H]

@@darshanbendale for me it doesnt work but, here is for windows 11:
rightclick the file
properties,
Within general go to advantaced,
click on/turn on "Encrypt content to secure data"
hope it works for you, for me it is grayed out so i cant help pass this point

[@user-qr5wz4hk8c]

it's works

[@stockbox4215]

You forgot the password but dont worry because you have the lock.bat file, so just right click the .bat file and change the extension to .txt from .bat and once you have the lock.txt file double click it and see your password and then again change it to .bat file and use the password to open your private folder❤

Which show how to hide files on computer with (.bat) files, i followed the steps. I hide the file i wanted, then I renamed the (.bad) file the name «101» without the «.bat» at the end for extra security and then I changed the location of the file. After a while I went to the folder where the file «101» is located, I renamed it by simply putting the «101.bat», I opened it, I put the asked password correctly, the private folder appeared, I opened it and there was nothing inside. What happened, Is my file lost? Please answer me!
