    I have a PC running windows ten.
    I am seeking a way to password protect a particular folder and have read that Folder Lock might be the answer.
    Thoughts please?
    Thank you.

    Thanks. Is anyone aware of a free way to do similar?
    The folder I want protected is not massive by the way.

    Thanks but the encrypt option in advanced is greyed out.
