    Encrypting a folder

    Hello Bill,

    To encrypt a folder in Windows 10 Home, follow these steps:

    • Right-click the folder you want to encrypt and click Properties.
    • On the General tab, click Advanced.
    • Under Compress or Encrypt attributes, click Encrypt contents to secure data.
    • Click OK then Apply to save the changes.

    We're just here if you need further help.

    Free Folder Lock?

    panchoman, dude?

    HiddenStupid, this might work. (not sure if it works on NTFS)

    Hide Folder HiBit lock 7.2.8

    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Security-Related/Hide-Folder-HiBit-lock.shtml

    · Protect any folder or file by : Hide, Lock, Encrypt or make a folder as a recycle Bin.
    · The protected folders or files still protected even in other computers.
    · The protect Operation just take 1 second at any computer.
    · You can undelete the folder or file by Locking it.
    · Works with FAT32, FAT16, FAT12 and FAT and all windows versions.

    10 runs trial and nag screen until registration. Registration is free

    So, freeware after free registration.

    Plenty more "lock folder" apps on Softpedia, very few that can hide AND lock.
