Windows 10: Folder lock Window 10 home version

I am using window 10 home version, as I have 2 users login, how can I lock my folder from other user access, is there any free software I can use?


If I use Veracrpt to lock my external hard disk of 2TB, do I need to create a volume also 2TB? where will be the encrypted file be stored? C Drive or external drive?


Please adv.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
